3.0

3 stars for the fact that it is a page turner and was a super fast read. Plus there were twists that had my jaw dropping.  However... the writing felt juvenile and there were parts to the story that felt extremely unnecessary (for example, farts and a racial slur). There were also many parts that simply did not make sense. It takes place in a blizzard, but no one ever seems to be affected by the cold and snow, even though a lot of time is spent outside?? and in converse?? Also the dialogue between Jay and Darby was so cringy that I typically would just scan over it quickly to move on. 

If you're looking for a quick page turner of a thriller with a few crazy twists, I'd recommend it i guess. Just be warned that it's full of eye-roll worthy moments and I would categorize it under YA Fiction.
