A solid Young Adult mystery. Interesting premise, enjoyed the prose. Told entirely through police interviews after an accident in which a teen goes missing during a camping trip. It was a fast read that kept me interested through out and I'm guessing the audiobook is the best way to experience narration.
Each character is an unreliable narrator which was interesting. The end isn't a surprise but it is a satisfying end for the story. The teens do make stupid decisions which can be annoying but it's realistic I suppose.

Five teens go into the woods for a camping trip. The next morning, only four of them come back out. This story is told entirely through police interviews of the four teenagers.

I found the format really compelling and the short chapters kept me hooked and wanting to keep turning the pages to see what would happen next. I would recommend this if you’re looking for a quick read to draw you in. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the advance reading copy.

This book was a solid 3.5 stars for me! It was an easy and fast-paced read of my favourite genre and I flew through it. I was so annoyed by Nolan by the end though.

I really liked the book, but I predicted the ending, but it was also toward the end of the book I guessed what was gonna happen.
