This book has always reminded me of Nerve! Teenagers participate in a series of challenges to win money at the end. Each challenge is more dangerous the further you go on, and some are specific to what they know of each player. They’re not allowed to tell anyone about the game or ask for any help.
I really love the twists in this book. You expect them to come, but you don’t quite know what she’s going to do. It’s so intense that I found myself having to catch my breath after each challenge was finished.
All I’ve got to say is Lauren Oliver is a genius with how she spins plot lines.

This book was a mess.
The Panic game vascillated between cringey and fucked up and it felt like Lauren Oliver couldn't decide whether she should go with The Hunger Games or Truth or Dare. The end result is a super lame game with low stakes and mechanics that I didn't care about.
I was invested more in the character back stories than the game itself, and I would've enjoyed this more if Lauren Oliver had leaned into it as a hard-hitting contemporary about impoverished kids stuck in hopeless situations.
Instead she gave us....tigers?
The fuck?

Лорън Оливър е една от любимите ми тийн писателки още откакто прочетох трилогията „Делириум“. За съжаление обаче „Паника“ не успя да оправдае очакванията ми. Сюжетът на романа е интересен, действието се развива бързо, има ги и неочакваните обрати, но образите на героите не бяха достатъчно добре изградени. За тези 300 страници не успях да се привържа към нито един от героите, макар всеки от тях да имаше своята лична трогателна история. „Паника“ е леко и приятно четиво, но нищо повече.

Me pareció entretenido e interesante, aunque los personajes me parecieron algo planos.
La idea de "Panic" me parece aterradora y muy buena, sin duda veré la adaptación. Lástima que la hayan cancelado :/.
