Pippa starts to realize that if Sal is not the true killer, then the murderer who really killed Andie Bell is still at large. Holly Jackson started writing stories at a young age, completing her first (poor) attempt at a novel when she was fifteen. He did some messed up stuff, but when dealing with the mafia, he seems like he didn't have much of a choice.

I listened to the audiobook and I think Red was even more annoying having to listen to her weirdness. I think at its worst this book is a 90’s action flick and at its best it’s The Thing (1982), which is one my favorite movies, so I’m torn on where I stand.

Common Sense is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of all kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century. I do wish that Simon developed more as a character, I wanted to learn more about his life and his thoughts. In Holly Jackson’s latest novel, six friends end up in a life-or-death situation that will only allow five of them to survive. note: if you need a book with loveable characters you can get invested in (like in holly jackson's previous books), you will probably not like five survive. Five survive is a perfect thriller - fast-paced, high stakes and full of characters that you would die to save or die if they were saved.

It’s a story of families, community and the ways a crisis can turn them against one another in the blink of an eye. It had none of the flare of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder (but that’s hard to follow up for any author).It's also super weird that Jackson names the mafia family Gotti, after the most famous New York crime boss, when the characters are from Philadelphia, which has its own notorious crime families. His arrogance isn't just something that happens on the side, it's glaringly apparent on almost every page which grated every single nerve in my body. She deserves everything 😭❤️That scene with Red and her mother was so beautifully written and I was just crying and crying while reading that part. When their RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere with no cell service, they soon realize this is no accident.

It is the popular opinion that he was the one responsible for this crime that shook the area to its core. With his help, Pip digs deeper, unveiling unsavory facts about Andie and the real reason Sal’s friends couldn’t provide him with an alibi.She grew up in Buckinghamshire and started writing stories from a young age, completing her first (poor) attempt at a book aged fifteen.
