Thank you to Sourcebooks and Netgalley for an advanced e-arc of this book. This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2025 and it DID NOT disappoint.
General Description: Brooke Goodwin is on her redemption arc. After an accident at her party in September, she's finally going to make her parents proud by getting into Yale. Of course, she has to celebrate with her friends. And of course, she lies to her parents about the party. It doesn't matter that someone has been harassing her about the accident over the past few months, Brooke deserves a break. On the way home from the party, after a scary encounter at said party, it seems the harasser is finally ready to actually pressure Brooke to make a decision: tell the truth about the accident, or die. What will Brooke do, especially with her best friend in the passenger seat, going 90 miles an hour in the dark, and with no cell service. Will Brooke walk away alive?
The goods:
- I was actually scared during some of the scenes, which I feel like hasn't happened in a thriller in a while.
- I did not see any of the twists coming at all. The characters have you on your toes the entire time.
- I feel like this was a departure from That's Not My Name in the best way. It wasn't a recycled story line and felt unique. I don't think I've read a thriller like this in a minute.
- This was an extremely fast paced read that I wish did not end.
The loss of a half-star:
- I just wish it wrapped up a bit better. I feel like I still had questions at the end. I thought the ending was creative, but I wish it was just a bit clearer.
Overall, if you're looking for a fast-paced, heart-pounding, and twisty thriller, this should definitely be on your 2025 TBR.
