Five survive is Holly Jackson’s new thriller. It follows the main character Red on a road trip for spring break. She’s with her best friend Maddy, her classmate Simon, her crush Arthur, Maddy’s brother Oliver and his girlfriend Reyna.
They’re on their way to a camping site, when suddenly they lose their signal and land in the middle of nowhere. Their RV breaks down and all four tires are flat. They soon realize this couldn’t be an accident. There’s a sniper outside and he wants something. A secret he’s willing to kill for. But whose secret is it and how far will they go to keep it that way –secret?

I really liked Red’s character and while Oliver frustrated me on several levels, he was very entertaining and well written for what he should be, which is annoying.
All in all, this book, like all of Holly Jackson’s books I’ve read, is full of secrets and unexpected plot twists. The book is well written and leaves you asking what will happen next. For that reason, I’ll give it 4 out of 5 stars.
