The second that I read this was a thriller based on a snowy road trip, I downloaded the audiobook. Something about road trip thrillers (Five Total Strangers, Five Survive, etc.)...

I'm actually glad this book wasn't cliche. There were some plot twists that I genuinely didn't expect. Somehow, though, Freida made the plot twist a small thing that easily could have been overlooked. I'm not sure, but maybe it was a bit rushed at the ending. I don't know. I'm not a published author.

I liked the characters, though, and Tegan's connection and love for Tuna. The name she chose in the end was low-key hilariously white-girl though (I'm white too..).

Overall, I wasn't on the edge of my seat too much, but I definitely was interested enough to want to keep reading. It was a good book.

While I think it does fit into the thriller category.. maybe... It wasn't too thrilling or crazy or terrifying, except for maybe the expectation I had for the hammer scene.

I own the rest of her books and I'm sure I'll read them too.
