I first saw this book a couple of days before reading it and I have to admit that I foung the synopsis to be really interesting.
5 rich kids and Megan (not so rich) do typical rich-people-are-stupid things, that inevitably end up with an accident where actually one women and her two daughters are killed. Megan agrees to take the blame in exchange for a favour of each of her friends when she is out of jail. Some times passes (a lot more than Megan and the others thought that would pass) and Megan is finally free. Now, it's their turn to be prisoners.
There is a 3rd person narration that didn't bother me at all. Reading that book caused my heart to raced and I literally couldn't put it down. I was being played, just like the old gang and I was desperate to see how everything would come to an end.
The actual ending was semi-surprising and it felt just kind of rushed. I wouls like it if there were a couple more pages.
Overall, it was a great book and I throughly enjoyed reading it.
