4.5 Stars! (Wish we could do Half Stars for our ratings!!)

An amazing book and I highly recommend it! The settings and characters were so detailed it feels like you right there in the RV. Also, the plot twists, will keep you guessing about how it will play out! :)

The only thing that held it back from a full 5 Stars was it dragged on at times. For example, I accidently skipped a page when reading on my Kindle and the characters were still having the exact same argument and I missed nothing at all! I'm sure that's just a personal gripe and others won't see it as that much of a deal breaker to stop a 5 Star and thats perfectly fine, BUT IMHO it tended to slow down the pace and just felt like extra filler and for no real reason!

Anyway, apart form my (silly?) gripe, its still an absolutely amazing book and everyone should check it out! :)

Holly Jackson is back again, Five Survive his her next novel and after devouring her Good Girl's Guide to Murder series I obviously needed to read anything else she put out! Five Survive is told over an 8 hour time span and will absolutely consume you. It will send chills down your spine and make you desperate to find all the answers. I do recommend this one, especially if you can take a day and read it in one sitting - in my opinion the way it's meant to be read. I don't recommend reading this one alone in the dark because honestly, I was terrified.

i enojoyed this! it was scary, tense, emotional, i cried a little. the ending felt a bit rushed to me and i also didn't like the conclusion that much, but overall it was really solid. red was a compelling main character, and all the characters and relationships felt fleshed out.
ALSO i hated oliver so so much and was happy when he died at the end, it felt cathartic

I love a good YA mystery but this one... I LOVED.

I could of read this in one sitting if school wasn't kicking my butt!

This book needs a movie!!♡

This book was a slow start for me but once I got into it, it was very fast paced. This book made me look at certain things differently!

I guessed the plot twist but I didn't at the same time. This book will have thinking. BUT.. when I tell you the plot twist have me screaming and jumping around cs whatttt....

Spoiler I dislike OLIVER so much I don't even have to question it, he is so selfish like it irritated me so badly. He made wanna throw this book at least five times. I was yelling at him like I was there. I really hated when he was so adamant about not leaving that rv when he thought he was the one with the secret but soon as red had the secret he didn't think twice he was ready to throw her out that rv immediately. That blew me so bad cause SHUT your no brain having self UP. I didn't care at all when he died I was HAPPY♡.

Simon, Reyna, And Maddy I guess I liked them, the book wasn't really focused on them they were just there kinda. Simon can really be my friend though idc✧.

Red.. I personally liked Red I didn't find her annoying. I actually related to her in certain parts of this book. She cool to me.

Arthur I love him like uggh I don't care that he was the mole it's whatever. I wish him and Red had more romance♡♡. Like he literally KILLED for her. The letter at the end made me wanna cry. I need to know if Red had went to meet him!!
