“Holly Jackson, the OG of UK YA thriller writers, has written one of her most exciting novels yet. Five Survive, my Book of the Month, is about a group of teens who set off on a trip for spring break; when they find themselves under attack, they must work out who is trying to shoot them—and why. Set over the course of just a few hours, this taut thriller will keep readers hooked.”
Charlotte Eyre, The Bookseller

A good listen!

This is a very tense and gripping story about friends, social standing, incredibly toxic masculinity (it is written incredibly well, and you will be satisfied with the outcome of it), and a very juicy mystery.
It is a “who done it” style book, where you will follow one thread and think one thing, then have it turn around, so you won't know who you can trust.
My only gripe, is that the words “walkie-talkie” got way overused, which for me personally, means that it has lost all of its meaning, and now if I find myself ever needing to use one, I will have to think if a new word for it. For now I shall stick with talky-box.
I will say, the end credits of this audiobook is pure gold, which I can only assume was an oversight by the producers.
If you like twists and turns, you'll love this.

The narrator was fine, but the story was quite predictable at times and frustrating to listen to. It felt like it was trying too hard to build suspense all the time. There were a couple of interesting twists, but overall, I found it unsatisfying and drawn out. The reasoning behind the plot was really far-fetched and flimsy and I found myself skipping ahead sometimes to get to the point.
I listened until the end but...
