This book was terrifying and exhilirating! It gave me whiplash with how many plot twists it had (all great by the way). It will keep you guessing. It hits a little too close to home since we have fully electric vehicles. It will make you uncomfortable and question your own choices. It will push you to finish it. The audio book has a full audio cast and makes the broadcast sections great! I HIGHLY recommend consuming this novel via audiobook on Audible! #notsponsored

Interesting plot and characters, as well as unexpected plot twists, but I felt it went on longer than needed.

This is an intense story. I love each passenger's stories. Libby and the rest of the jurors had unique personalities, especially Jack. I rarely read futuristic stuff and I'm glad that I picked this up because it was interesting. 

The "hacker" was so interesting. The dark themes such as pedophilia, suicide, etc. made my skin crawl. I was so mad at Sofia's husband, Patrick. He dared to threaten her about his dark side. Disgusting was an understatement. 

Oh, Sofia thinking that she joined a reality TV show was hilarious until it didn't. 

Heide blackmailing his cheating husband was awesome in a way that he had a taste of his own medicine. The squirming and mine games made it all worth it. 

The ending was interesting as well. And the triple life of Jude. Hey Jude✨

Thank you, John❤️
