Yow... Its high time Holly Jackson writes an Adult Thriller cause lowkey, this one, DID NOT DISSAPOINT

Not only I that I was tearing up at the end during the revelation, Holly Jackson always know to tug with your emotions, especially with how she pans out her characters. Lowkey, I love this and, although I suspected who the perpetrator was, the reasons behind everything had left me just staring at the book for a good 5 minutes, just trying to process everything that is going on in my head.

A short trip on the road became a nightmare for the 6 friends where they were trapped in the RV that they had used to go on a spring break. Of secrets, lies and betrayals, a somewhat lock-room thriller where everyone is held at gunpoint and you'll need to survive the night to unveil a secret; that only one of them knows.

Personal Ratings : 4.5🌟

Obviously, Holly Jackson has never disappointed me with her works. Even from A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series, she has a way in building her characters and interconnect them in such a way that plays and tugs with your heart and heartstring. I loved how distinct each characters are in the book and how Red is this peculiar character that we grew to love towards the end of the book. I get SO. BLOODY. ANTSY reading this and I finished this less than 3 hours, just because I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WTF HAPPENED .

There's something about Jackson's writing that makes you hooked from the very start; and known for her interactive format, Five Survive is put in the format of chapters from 10PM to 6AM , in which every single hour is crucial for their survival. Its like in an episode of 24 but you are in your teens, scared and held at gunpoint.

I would say that the plot was good, but there are some parts in the middle that felt draggy. Kinda wished that we have more background on some of the rest of the characters but I understood that she wanted to focus on one thing than the other. But overall, I enjoyed this book very very much! The pacing was done just right and you are anxious together with the characters :') I teared up a bit at the end and yall, I picked this book at the right time for real.

A read that I would recommend to basically everyone and its venturing out to more New Adult rather than a YA book. Jackson really needs an adult thriller at this point, she has so much potential! Highly recommended and lowkey can't wait for everyone to read this!

Biggest thank you to the team at Harper Reach for this copy! Loved it :')
