Loved this book, liked the plot, currently in love with Arthur thought Simon was funny at first but then barely heard from the guy in 2nd half he deserved more screen time. Reyna was okay, like red, love Arthur, and omds maddy has my heart she is exactly how I would act in the situation and bless her having to cope with that fucking dickhead of a brother oliver, I was going to give the book 4 stars instead cuz he was so goddamn irritating but then

he was killed so I was very happy and his and his mothers death was worth the annoyance

the old couple broke my heart 💔 and again, oliver is to fucking blame. Also

the cop was an idiot like girl how does a walkie talkie look like a gun and you literally SAW that red didn’t kill oliver

finally, can Arthur please write me a letter that was so sweet, I’m going to live my life as if red says yes 🙌

I really thought I wasn’t going to enjoy this book right at the start but I persevered and wow I’m so glad I did. The pacing and style is the complete opposite of what I usually opt for, with heaps of inner monologuing and unresolved trauma carrying through the actions of the leading cast. The further I got through, however, the more invested I became. It was very excited to watch the clues slowly being dropped into my lap without a clear way to piece them together. I became suspicious of everyone and everything, as if I were with them in that RV. The amount of times Holly Jackson made me doubt my intuition proves the calibre of her writing.

Up until the last five minutes of this audio book, I thought I was going to hate the conclusion. I had been so invested and I could see how it was going to end. Until the massive U-turn. I thought everyone got what they deserved in the end except Don and Joyce :( the only reason this wasn’t higher rated was because I would have loved to see Catherine and Oliver have to face their crimes.
