I still felt very thoroughly surprised with the resolution at the end, which was a welcomed surprise. With the ending, too, there were some things that were predictable while others were not. Man were there times I just wanted to punch someone specific in the face over and over again (if you’ve read the book, you know exactly who I’m talking about). To get to the good stuff, though, I think Jackson did an amazing job at building tension between the characters. My main issue with the book was what I mentioned above: it just started out way too slow and was dragged out for a hundred pages too long. The writing, as Holly Jackson has already proven numerous times, was amazing in its style, the flow of the story, and the development of the characters. Characters I just didn’t care about enough. There were characters I absolutely despised. Once you got about halfway through, though, it was smooth sailing. Five Survive started out a little slow and could’ve been condensed much more than it actually was. I just didn’t like it as much as I was hoping I would. While I enjoyed the novel, though, it didn’t have the same flare as Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, but I can’t imagine that any novel will be that good ever again. The writing was phenomenal for the whole series, which is why I knew I had to read Five Survive the moment it came out. I loved Holly Jackson’s series for A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder (except the last book… I despised it ). So, Five Survive was definitely one of my most anticipated reads of the year.
