A few thoughts:

🩷 If you’re a long-time follower, you would know I love stories set in the Australian bush. This one, being set in an isolated part of the Blue Mountains, was a fantastic debut from a new Author. And such a gripping combo - five young friends, heading out into the bush to go camping, add secrets, lies, teen relationships & a lack of water & you have an adrenaline filled journey that you can’t help but consume quickly. 

🩷 This almost delves into coming-of-age territory as each of the teens naively works their way through their own personal dramas & emotions. 

🩷We come to realize that not everything is as it seems & as the story unfolds each member has their own guilt to carry. The ending takes an interesting turn. I’ll leave you with that!

🩷 Three errors - extra words in sentences that weren’t picked up in the editing process. My only criticism about the book, just detracted from the story.
