I surprised even myself with this rating if I'm being honest. I don't often give things two-stars. (I mean, even books that I DNF get at least 1-star because they were obviously interesting enough to get me to pick it up in the first place.) But this 'thriller' - woof. 

A brief synopsis: A winter storm cancels a flight from somewhere (maybe Philly-ish) to Pittsburgh as everyone is trying to get home from Christmas. (So, if I must this gets one-star for hometown representation. JK!) The main character - Mia? Mya? Mira? that's how uninteresting she was - is desperate to see her Mother and decides to take a trip across the state with four total strangers that she met at the airport. Some bad stuff happens. The books ends. (That's really all I can say without going into details and giving things away.)



So, let me start this off by saying, if you know it was too bad to fly what in the F*CK made you think DRIVING across the state would be a good idea? Anyone who lives in PA knows that winter doesn't play here sometimes. And sometimes it does.     I mean, I know..it's fiction and all. But that sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen from the start. Then, yes; please get into a car with 4 people you don't know and trust them to get you home for Christmas - I think the F not. 

There's almost an accident, they basically become fugitives more than once, the main character is lying to her parents, everyone's shit (personal items) is going missing & something bad (or a few bad things) is about to happen. And it does. And then it does again. And then it does again. And they escape it the first few times but in the end a Stranger/Hitchhiker that had a larger part in the book than some of the other 'characters' saves the day. Then it ends with a nice little bow or something. *rolls eyes*

I listened to this on audiobook and there were sections that were so boring that I would completely zone out, come back to, and realize that I pretty much hadn't missed anything. 

I feel super bad/critical giving this review as again, I don't typically rate this low. But this book just did not do anything for me. I was happy to finish it and send it back to the library and am excited to move onto something new. 

Maybe this book and the vibes that take place are better for you - which I hope! But for me, just..NO. Not a fan and I'll be happy to sell my paperback copy and get it off my shelf.
