Charlie Jordan is being driven across the country by a serial killer. Maybe. Behind the wheel is Josh Baxter, a stranger Charlie met by the college ride share board, who also has a good reason for leaving university in the middle of term. On the road they share their stories, carefully avoiding the subject dominating the news - the Campus Killer, who's tied up and stabbed three students in the span of a year, has just struck again. Travelling the lengthy journey between university and their final destination, Charlie begins to notice discrepancies in Josh's story. As she begins to plan her escape from the man she is becoming certain is the killer, she starts to suspect that Josh knows exactly what she's thinking. Meaning that she could very well end up as his next victim.

I enjoyed this one a fair amount. I was surprised by a couple of the twists, but the final one I saw coming by the end. I liked how the narrator was unreliable with her hallucinations, but found the whole “movie in her mind” piece to be a bit cheesy. I also wish that it had been first person POV, but if intended to be like a screenplay, maybe it had to be third person? Overall I liked the book. It was wild how the whole plot really only takes place over a few hours. If felt like there was way more crammed in. The main character also really annoyed me at times. You had chances to get away, why didn’t you just…take them?? Could probably give 4 stars, but was annoyed enough by the book that I’m going with 3.
