‘A blisteringly good standalone thriller.’
The Observer, YA Books of the Year, 4/12/2022
‘A thrill ride.’
The Guardian
“Holly Jackson, the OG of UK YA thriller writers, has written one of her most exciting novels yet. Five Survive, my Book of the Month, is about a group of teens who set off on a trip for spring break; when they find themselves under attack, they must work out who is trying to shoot them—and why. Set over the course of just a few hours, this taut thriller will keep readers hooked.”
Charlotte Eyre, The Bookseller
