what an amazing book! the story was so immensly gripping and thrilling that i couldn't put the book down and finished it within a day. so many plots that seemed kinda predictable and then weren't at all, so many turns and secrets - i thoroughly loved all of it. holly jackson really delivered another banger here, with a story taking place within the short time of 8 hours in a 31 feet RV. incredibly intense writing style and the great take that
the danger doesn't only lie outside the RV but inside as well.
i got super invested whilst reading and, at some points, way too emotional with the way a certain person *cough* oliver *cough* acted. needless to say that
i was quite satisfied with him being shot in the end. he deserved it. sorry not sorry.
the ending itself was pretty emotional, especially the letter - i think that was a great idea of the author and something that spices things up a little. one more thing that'll haunt me forever though: what was the curtain pattern? aaahhhh.
