certainly not a bad book, and the quick pacing makes it almost unputdownable. however, i found some of the writing very repetitive and waffle-ish, especially when it came to the main characters’ inability to make decisions.
the plot was pretty predictable but nonetheless a decent book and one that goes quick enough to help ease anyone out of a reading slump.

Really fast-paced, tense thriller! There hasn’t been many thrillers that have made me feel tense while reading but I definitely was anxious reading this one!

Crazy from start to finish. Super fast paced, finished in one sitting. Gets a little dark so pay attention to trigger warnings.

Strong start, okay ending, terrible middle. It’s hard to say what the overall pacing is because the pacing is uneven mostly due to the fact that the book is longer than it needs to be, even though it’s a fairly short book. This was an idea that just wasn’t fleshed out enough for a full novel.

The beginning is genuinely great, the time they actually spend in the car is tense and anxiety provoking and the pacing feels good. I didn’t really care for either of the main characters but they were fine to begin with and I think I still didn’t mind Laura by the end. Liv on the other hand began to get on my nerves. There is a ridiculous and unbelievable choice she makes about halfway through the book and it’s very clear she only makes that choice because it was needed to continue the story the author wanted, and from that point it went from being difficult to put down to difficult to keep reading.
