출판사 설명
Mira needs to get home for the holidays—badly. But when an incoming blizzard results in a canceled layover, it looks like she might get stuck at the Philadelphia airport indefinitely. And then Harper, Mira's glamorous seatmate from her initial flight, comes to the rescue. Harper and her three friends are renting a car, and they can drop Mira off on the way home. But as their trip begins, Mira discovers her fellow travelers aren't friends like she thought-they're total strangers. And every one of them seems to be hiding something dangerous. Soon, Mira is in a panic. The roads have gone from slippery to terrifying. People's belongings are mysteriously disappearing. Someone in the car is clearly lying...and Mira begins to suspect that one of them is sabotaging the trip. If she wants to make it home alive, she'll need to uncover the truth about these strangers before this nightmare drive turns fatal.

I Wanted to Like It
Maybe this novel is a good fit as an adolescent novel, but I can’t imagine anyone else loving, Five Strangers. It’s agonizingly slow and predictable.
-That’s my opinion though 🤷🏻♀️
This book had all the ingredients for a great thriller—solid setup, an intriguing premise, and tension that kept building. But by the end, it just didn’t deliver. The climax was anticlimactic and lacked the punch I was expecting. I thought there’d be a true fight-for-your-life twist, but instead, it wrapped up in a way that felt rushed and disappointing.
It also read more like a beginner or young adult intro to the thriller/suspense genre. I don’t mean to sound overly critical, but the plot had so much potential to go deeper, darker, and more intense—it just never quite got there. I was really hoping for more.
Not to mention, it was predictable. There were no red herrings or real flaws in the setup to make you question what was happening. You always knew it was someone in the car... how original (insert eye roll). It made the mystery fall flat, especially when the book could’ve played more with doubt and misdirection.

Not impressed
Sooo boring and repetitive and the speaker’s attitude is annoyingly whiney. I can’t finish - it’s obviously not going to improve.
