I highly anticipated the release of this book as I have loved all of Holly Jackson’s books so far. I actually listened to this book via BorrowBox which suited me best for this type of book. I would say this storyline is the darkest and scariest yet of hers and at times I was nearly afraid to listen on! But I was too curious to stop.
I think the book could definitely been made shorter but there were important clues dropped throughout and the ending was super clever how the author tied all the connections together.
There are six friends heading on spring break and they get lost in the RV. RV gets the tyres shot out and fuel tank shot. It is a planned attack. Someone in the RV is in on it.
Graphic: Death, Mass/school shootings, and Death of parent
