It’s a long drive but spirits are high. Until the RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere. And as the wheels are shot out, one by one, the friends realise that this is no accident. you guys… that ending 🥲🤍 finally a thriller with an ending that didn’t feel too rushed or impractical Arthur- I went from like to dislike then to feeling bad for him. His morally grey character is a bit disturbing but his chemistry with Red is worth exploring. You can tell from the start that Red is recovering from a trauma that has happened in her life. Since she can't afford to fly anywhere for break, her best friend, Maddy, actually suggests the RV trip. Good-naturedly, everyone else agrees. 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.
Reyna- Yeah no. Wasn't a fan. She's forgettable. Her sob story had no effect on me, I don't like cheaters. Pippa starts to do her research, but is beginning to discover secrets. Someone living in the small town would like nothing more than for these secrets to stay where they are in the dark. Pippa starts to realize that if Sal is not the true killer, then the murderer who really killed Andie Bell is still at large. Maddy and Simon were probably my favorites, I just liked them both a lot. Simon more so than Maddy, because I feel he had more personality and he made me laugh multiple times. Reyna used to be one of my favorites because she seemed nice and fun but then some things were revealed and let's just say, she isn't one of my favorites anymore. As far as characters go, I thought Red and Oliver in particular were very compelling and well developed; the latter especially was increasingly terrifying as the book went on, and I loved the juxtaposition between the him and the sniper as different kinds of antagonists. I do wish we got to see more of Arthur and Maddy’s personalities, but I understand that it was important for them to not be explored in depth until the end for the sake of the plot, and the reveals definitely made that worth it! Red Kenny and her friends’ spring break road trip veers off course when they are detained by a sniper.
I LOVED this book. I wish I could say that I read it in eight hours for the challenge but I actually read it much faster than that because I could not put it down. Five Survive is a stand out amongst YA thrillers, coming at you full force with the grit and stakes of an adult thriller whilst simultaneously catering to its teen audience with scary realism.

There’s a sniper out there. He’s watching them and he knows exactly who they are. One of the groups has a secret that the sniper is willing to kill for. Simon- he was kinda the 'comic relief' of the group and I do always like having that kind of character to lighten it up a bit 🤩 but I didn't care for Simon that much- he was just okay. If you love true crime, murder mysteries, and unstoppable young women, this is the perfect easy-read thriller.”— Business Insider Things become chaotic. The mood is panic, as you would expect. The sniper claims one of them has a secret that can save them all, but who!? With the ending, too, there were some things that were predictable while others were not. I still felt very thoroughly surprised with the resolution at the end, which was a welcomed surprise.Amazing Audiobooks for Young Adults".

Eighteen year old Red and her friends are on a road trip in an RV, heading to the beach for Spring Break. It’s a long drive but spirits are high. Until the RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere. There’s no mobile phone reception and nobody around to help. And as the wheels are shot out, one by one, the friends realise that this is no accident. There’s a sniper out there in the dark watching them and he knows exactly who they are. One of the group has a secret that the sniper is willing to kill for. Okay, now for the fun part. I just seriously want to rant for hours here about how much I was hoping the sniper would just shoot Oliver so he’d just shut up. Dear Lord was he annoying. I usually don’t like unnecessary killings in novels, but I just wanted Oliver gone and didn’t care how it happened. I mean, come on, that dude was psycho.Did you know you can flag iffy content?

I liked Simon too he was kinda funny. I really want more of Arthur but I guess we can't. His character intrigued me a lot. But still I don't like him for what he did.
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...
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. 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 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.
