Five Survive by Holly Jackson

dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

twist after twist after twist. Holly Jackson's writing never fails to captivate me. It's hard to put down the book once I start and let me tell you it's worth it. I was incredibly anxious and angry the whole time and I'd say that's pretty good. 

-maddy redemption arc 
-oliver is so horrible dude i couldn't take it. so job well done Miss Jackson.
- ARTHUR BEING THE "BAD" GUY.... okay but i actually kinda want him so bad πŸ˜ƒ

the book ending open like that too😭😭 ahhh

this was really really good though, i forgot how much i love to read her books!

it's been a little under 2 hours since finishing and im back bc i have more to say.

THIS BOOK MADE ME SO SAD WHEN SHE IMAGINED HER MOMS VOICE THROUGH THE WALKIE TALKIE. i cannot stop thinking about this book and the characters. i need another one. i need arthur and red to run away together from their messed up past. 

i also need to know who else voted yes and what did the curtains look like. i could have a whole second story of just arthur and red being happy (maybe a mystery there too)
