Lamest Twist Ever

I'm annoyed that I wasted my time on this book. You could see the twist from a mile away. While I did enjoy the sort of realism to it and Mira needing to get home, the ending fell extremely short and wasn't satisfying at all. The author should've picked Harper as the stalker than Josh. It would've been more of a twist, and the book kind of puts her as a suspect, with her being into girls and liking to write letters.

Never reading this author again

This book just wasn’t for me. The plot was predictable, and the plot twist wasn’t a twist really. The pacing and the book itself was boring. It wasn’t necessarily slow as a book(it took me a day to finish) but it was just in general boring. The main character and all the others were a bit stupid, which I guess I can forgive since MCs usually are, but they were also one dimensional and also boring. I only finished this because I can’t stand DNFing. If you think it sounds interesting still try it, but it just wasn’t for me. Two stars for it being a fast read, and that it got resolved without a dumb ending.(except the plot twist)

Fun, but mediocre

The book was enjoyable, it's an easy read, and something you can get through in just a couple days. It did have some nice twists and the immersion was pretty solid. I don't have a hard time imagining myself in the scenario these strangers found themselves in, however the literary complexity and the deeper end of the story was non existent. I feel like it's tailored to younger audiences than myself, and that's completely fine! I do recommend to younger adults, and for $5 on a BN special, I truly can't complain. I would read it twice.

YA Thriller

An atmospheric, character driven YA psychological thriller told from one perspective. Five total strangers in a car, in a snowstorm, each with their own secrets, this one kept me guessing from the first page. I read it straight through in one sitting. Recommended

Wasn’t my fave

I did Finnish this in 2 days because I did have interest in it but I feel there were some parts that didn’t need to be added in the book. I do love the plot twists tho

Predictable but good

Once this books gives you enough clues you can almost guess what’ll happen next. However it’ll get to the point of you still guessing. However it was still a good reader with a few more surprising twists. Kept me up at night since I wanted to finish it.
