Ratings and reviews

Very interesting, when I start to read it I can't put it down. I just got this book like a week ago and I am almost done with it already. I highly recommend it and it's a good way to get someone to read a book. I love all of Holly's books, she is such an amazing writer. I have read A Good Girls Guide To Murder, As Good As Dead, and , Good Girl Bad Blood. I love all of her books and this one is amazing. At first I never thought that I would like murder mysteries, but I went to Barns and Noble and I got A Good Girls Guide to Murder and I fell in love with murder mysteries and now that is pretty much all I read. I love this book and I have recommended it to all of my friends who are into murder mysteries. I love this book and I think it is a good book for teenagers to read. I believe that this is a good book to get teens their reading in. I am not a huge fan of reading but when I get one of Holly's books then I end up reading it. I love this book and I highly recommend it. I love this 📖.

I adored this book, and devoured it in just a few days. I really enjoy how she writes characters ; they are so nuanced, complex and authentic. Her depiction of interpersonal relationships were also very well written. I also definitely got surprised by some of the things happening, which is a tricky thing to pull off ! Bonus ; one of the characters of the book seems to have ADHD; and it was so truthfully portrayed ! It felt impactful and raw to read as neurospicy woman myself.

Five Survive is an amazing read for those looking for a good thriller mystery book. Jackson manages to evoke many different emotions throughout the book or in a single scene conveying tension, suspense, desolation, and fear. The whole book is based in one setting the entire time, while that can make a book feel uneventful; Jackson manages to keep the reader on their toes. While reading this book I quite enjoyed how the author built up tension between the characters all stuck together in a small
