alsoiread 's review for:

Five Survive by Holly Jackson
3.5
dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

For something with such high stakes I found the book could drag a little at times. Not majorly, but I think its just the effect of most of the book taking place in the same location, with the same people and the same threat. There were developments, yes, but still a lot stayed the same.

Overall an enjoyable thriller, but I found the characters and story less gripping than others I've read (including the Good Girl's Guide to Murder series by the same author).
