Five Survive by Holly Jackson
4.0
When describing or reviewing this book I mostly think “nice”. Five Survive was a very nice book. The suspense was great, the character conflicts were nice, the twists were good, the build-up was cool, the representation of grief and adhd-like experiences of red was good. It wasn’t perfect - sometimes the repetition (although clearly purposeful) was too much for me, some of the character relations could’ve been more fleshed out, sometimes the pacing was a bit inconsistent - but it was a good, enjoyable, nice thriller.
