Five Survive by Holly Jackson

On their way to spring break in Florida, six friends find themselves lost on a country road in South Carolina. They are stranded with no cell service when all four tires go flat on their borrowed RV.  When a hole is shot the gas tank, they realize this was no accident. 

Red feels guilty. It's her fault they couldn't fly like everyone else. Plane tickets are too expensive for her. She lives with her dad who has checked out on life since Red's mom was killed in the line of duty as a police officer. 

They try to escape the RV, but the shooter will not let any of them leave until one of them tells their secret. Oliver, the oldest of them, is a natural leader. He always has a plan, but is not above putting his safety first. Still, no one is quick to reveal their secrets even with the morning deadline approaching. 

Imagine six young people trapped in an RV with the threat of being shot and killed if they leave. Friendships and loyalties are tested. Secrets revealed. Some will stop at nothing to protect their futures and reputations. You can almost feel the sweat in the cramped RV as anger and accusations fly. 

I realize my description does not include too many details. It would unjust for me to reveal too much of this incredibly suspenseful book where, as the title suggests, only five survive. Strap in and enjoy.
