So we have a Scooby-Doo band of a few teenagers coming back home on a small private jet when something happens and the plan crashes on an island.
They manage to somehow survive but someone in the group keeps playing more and more dangerous tricks on them.
The ending is beyond ridiculous and despite the author's efforts, completely unjustifiable.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
No Accident is an average read. While the premise had potential, I found the execution lacking. The plot felt somewhat predictable, and the characters didn't resonate with me. The pacing was inconsistent, with moments of excitement but also stretches of dullness. It's not a bad book, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. If you're looking for a quick and light thriller, it might suffice, but don't expect a literary masterpiece.

This is the story of seven teens surviving a plane crash on a deserted island.
The premise of the book looks good and interesting, but how Bates put it on paper was not the way to do it. The character felt one-dimensional and lacked depth. I could not relate to any of them.
The purpose of the text could have been exploited better. As an adult reader, I felt like the vocabulary used was childish, but I have to admit that this book was targeted towards a younger audience who would probably appreciate an easier language.
I think that the author underestimates young readers and should try to write as if they don’t have to see an explanation to everything. I also think that the concept of a group of teens on a deserted island was used enough in the past. Bates should have had worked her story in a more imaginative way to have made it stand out.
Overall, I don’t think this book stands out enough from other texts to be chosen in a library.

I didn’t love this book. I found it boring and slow most of the time, and I didn’t feel like I picked up until the last 20 or so pages of the book.
