10 Hours to Go by Keely Parrack

hopeful tense fast-paced

4.0

 This certainly wasn't a masterpiece of Young Adult literature, and quite frankly it was a total mess, but I'm such a sucker for girls bonding that I ended up loving it anyway. Strangely, the start of the story felt like a different book to the end.

At the start, the story felt like a thriller, as Lily is stuck in the backseat of Natasha's car it really felt like anything could happen, murder, torture, kidnapping. But after Lily is left alone in the woods by Natasha and Elke, the story takes an odd turn and the three girls actually start talking through their problems.

The last quarter with the fire should really have had the same tension as the first but, it just didn't. I didn't feel worried about the characters because the tone change told me they would be fine, and the ending was almost a little to cute, but of course I liked it.
