The Hitchhikers by Chevy Stevens
4.25
dark tense medium-paced

Thank you to the publisher, the author and Netgalley for allowing me to have an ARC copy of this. All opinions expressed are completely my own. 

This was my first Chevy Stevens novel and I loved it. I've had a few of her other novels on my TBR for awhile but just haven't got to them. I think after reading this, I might have to move those ones up and get to them sooner. 

As someone who lives in BC, I really loved the setting for this. I often read so many novels taking place in other areas and it was so fun to be able to recognize the names and actually have a concept of  where stuff was taking place. 

I really enjoyed getting to read this. It was suspenseful and gave me anxiety at points, but also I happened to just feel sad for some of the characters. I found Jenny to be a complex character, and I loved the depth that she was given. 

I also really liked Alice and her portrayal. It felt a lot more realistic to me than a lot of books but yet she still came off as brave and like a strong woman. 

I was also really happy with how this ended. Overall, a solid read. I really liked it.
