Speaking of Arthur, I am confused on how to feel about him. He did some messed up stuff, but when dealing with the mafia, he seems like he didn't have much of a choice. Not justifying what he did, but i still kind of liked him. he was sweet to ren and he helped her learn the truth. he seemed to care about her beyond the mafia stuff- he didn't have to do some of the things he did to "gain her trust". or it could be i HATE oliver so much everyone else looks amazing. what happened in that RV was awful. it shouldn't of happened. but of it didn't- it leaves you wondering whether the truth would've REALLY come out. i hope ren meets him at the pier. i hope she SLAPS him, and then i hope she kisses him. maybe i have been reading too many mafia wattpads... idk Five Survive is set over eight hours and follows six teens as they travel across the country in an RV for spring break. Around 10pm, their RV comes to a halt as each of the tires are shot out. There’s an assassin somewhere around them and nobody is getting out alive unless they give him what he wants - a secret. Something that someone is holding onto in the RV. They know who they are and what he’s looking for - but what good is a secret if it’s told? With tensions in the RV at an all time high with even higher stakes, the six friends have a choice to turn on each other or air their dirty laundry in a desperate attempt to escape. And the REVEALS? The BETRAYALS? I screamed. Red- I really liked her!! 🤩🤩 I thought she was a very solid protagonist- her development throughout the book was good and she felt easy to connect to & sympathize with 💜💜 I also really liked learning more about her past!

As a game of cat-and-mouse plays out, the group desperately tries to get help. Buried secrets are forced to light and tensions within the group reach deadly levels. Only one thing is for sure. Not everyone will survive the night . . .

In the end, I’m still not exactly sure how I feel about Arthur; Arthur and Red together to be specific. If I were her, I’m not sure I’d ever be able to trust him again, but they were pretty cute together, I cannot lie!! One of my favorite aspects of the book was how the very end mirrored the finale of the A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder series, it was such a heartfelt nod to Pip and Ravi but still distinctly Arthur and Red, I absolutely adored it. I'm an extreme scaredy-cat when it comes to anything crime or anything that could possibly happen in real life, but I ended up reading this late into the night and I was honestly scared to go to sleep because I have extremely irrational fears. red - she annoyed me but i also felt so bad for her can my emotions not be a mess for once 😭 i just want to hug her. Since her police captain mother’s murder, Red has been inseparable from Maddy Lavoy, though it’s often difficult for Red to witness the warm family dynamics Maddy and her brother, Oliver, share with their mother, an assistant DA and Red’s late mother’s best friend. Red, the Lavoy siblings, and three other friends—Reyna Flores-Serrano, Arthur Moore, and Simon Yoo—embark in a borrowed RV on a journey to Gulf Shores but instead find themselves in the crosshairs of a long-range rifle held by a man demanding that one of them reveal an important secret. As Red battles internally with her guilt and grief over her mother’s death, her companions become increasingly volatile and paranoid as the group tries to discern whose secret is the one the hostage taker is after. The sometimes-tedious, sometimes-intense moment-by-moment breakdown of events in the 31-foot RV (that seems much smaller as the night wears on) magnifies the claustrophobia. Subtle indications that no one can really be trusted alternate with mind-blowing revelations. Toxic masculinity is often at war with common sense and good judgment, and moral ambiguity abounds. Red, Arthur, and the Lavoy siblings read White; Reyna is Mexican American, and Simon is cued as biracial (Korean and White). (This review has been updated to correct a character’s name.) Oliver is a complete psychopath, and I'm sure that he was acting out of fear, but still, that was crazy, and so is he.Once they begin communicating with the individual holding them hostage, it becomes clear, this person knows them. How did they end up here? Was this entire thing planned? This can't be a coincidence. I also am unsure how I feel about that ending, with the letter and all, considering how I feel about those characters. But the ending before that- oh my god, I almost started to cry in public, it was crazy.

I will admit that it took me a littleeee bit to get into the book but once I did, it moved so. fast. The book is super fast paced and the ending is full of so many twists that I did not see coming.and i do wish we got a little bit more at the end. it felt like there were loose ends. also what did the curtains remind her of? and who voted yes??? because im gonna be staying up at night wondering who it was.

Starting with the characters!! ✨ the characters in here were definitely a mixed bag- some I genuinely liked, others were meh and even some inspired murder (can you guess who that last one is??) Amazing Audiobooks for Young Adults". Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). 4 January 2021 . Retrieved 15 September 2021. That's right. There's a sniper out there lurking in the dark and they have their sights set on our six friends, who are now trapped in their disabled vehicle. There's no cell service. They're far from help. What can they do?Red Kenny is on a road trip for spring break with five friends:Her best friend – the older brother – his perfect girlfriend – a secret crush – a classmate – and a killer. Redford Kenny or Red. Her story had me bawling my eyes out. She deserves so so much better. 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. It really was a lot painful. Maddy- tbh... meh. I didn't have any strong feelings towards her. She wasnt the worst but she wasn't super interesting either?? 🙁🙁 But anyways, I'm glad I read this!! It was a fun read that gave me multiple thrills and freaked me out way too many times, and I loved it!!
