I spent most of the book mentally screaming at these characters not to make the decisions they did. The entire storyline felt way over the top and outrageous and lacked the subtlety it needed to make it actually be thrilling/scary.

An interesting concept that's not executed well. At times boring with repetitive chapters!

This novel reminds me of every awful time I've ever had to sleep under a charging station in an airport. If, like past me and a million other traveling students, you have ever had to face the usual miserable "delayed due to a blizzard" winter break lay overs, you can easily slide into the protagonist's shoes...even if you would never accept the ride she decided on.
Five Perfect Strangers takes an ordinary teen who needs to get home to her mom for the holidays, and the four college students heading the same direction. Richards throws us into the back roads of Pennsylvania to remind us not to trust a person solely by their appearance.
