Trixie and Lux are excited to finally get out of their town for the weekend but a night of violence changes everything and the girls will have to try survive on their own. 

I LOVED this book! I could really feel the anxiety the two girls felt while they were escaping from the media and the cops. At times I had to put down the book and just breathe. 

Trixie was passionate, impulsive and hopelessly in love with her best friend Lux. At first I was rooting for them, but reading further I realized their relationship was quite toxic because they completely isolated themselves from the rest of the world and they wouldn't let anyone into their little bubble. 

I really loved the description of the places and I really felt like I was travelling alongside with Trixe and Lux. 

The book was fast-paced and a total page-turner and I ended up devouring it in less than three days.

I highly recommend it to fans of Courtney Summers and those looking for an intriguing YA thriller!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an early copy!
