Product Information

Six teenagers take off for a week in Florida for high school spring break (do high school students do that? Oliver is that one guy in the Socratic seminar who piggybacks off of other people’s ideas and pretends like they’re his own, and Simon still does “that’s what she said” jokes, like it’s 2008.

They drift apart and find new friends, but their friendship keeps asserting itself at parties, shared holiday gatherings and random encounters. She grew up in Buckinghamshire and started writing stories from a young age, completing her first (poor) attempt at a book aged fifteen. Lavoy isn't featured enough to really get a sense of why she'd execute her best friend in cold blood. Autumn’s coming-of-age is sensitively chronicled, with a wide range of experiences and events shaping her character. Okay, so I don’t know if I’m getting better at this, but I pretty much guessed most of the plot twists in this book by about page 60.Everything was tied up perfectly, while still leaving an open end for us to decide what happens, possibly my favorite way for a book to end. It was named a Paperback of the Year by Waterstones and made it to the short list for their children’s book of the year. This was published by US publishing on the 29th of November 2022 and in the UK publishing on the 8th of December 2022. Five Survive is the latest release from beloved author, Holly Jackson, well known for her hugely-successful A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series.

The sniper might be on the outside shooting in, but it’s clear to both the reader and the characters that this kind of situation couldn’t have been planned without some insider help. 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. Intrigue, riches, and romance abound in this thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Inheritance Games perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson. anyways i picked this up again bc i wanted a quick read and i enjoyed it again immensely except that i got emotional at the ending AGAIN! 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.I loved Holly Jackson’s series for A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder (except the last book… I despised it [see As Good as Dead]). If you love true crime, murder mysteries, and unstoppable young women, this is the perfect easy-read thriller. Buried secrets are forced to light in the cramped, claustrophobic setting of the RV, and tensions within the group will reach deadly levels. I usually don’t like unnecessary killings in novels, but I just wanted Oliver gone and didn’t care how it happened.
