Five total strangers 

I love a lock in book where the characters are stuck together so this one was right up my alley. It had major ‘No Exit by Taylor Adam’s vibes to me. 

I called the ending about a quarter of the way through because that’s what I do. In regards to the storyline, it felt unoriginal and I had the feeling that I’d read this book before (I haven’t). I do have to remember that this is a YA novel so I can’t be too picky since I am 28. 

All in all, a dark and suspenseful read.
