Week 14 Review: No Place Left to Hide

From Goodreads:

Some secrets just won't stay hidden in this twisty new thriller from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Megan Lally!

To Brooke, image is everything. She works hard to maintain perfect grades, perfect looks, a perfect life—especially after "the incident" that threatened it all. Getting into her dream university puts her that much closer to a fresh start. How can she say no to celebrating with all her classmates?

Hanging out with her crush by the bonfire is the perfect end to the night. Except it isn't the end. An old truck starts aggressively tailing Brooke and her best friend on the isolated road toward home. Someone thinks they know the truth about "the incident," and they won't stop until it's all out in the open. This terrifying drive is about to bring out Brooke's worst fears…if she survives it.

My Review:
This was such an intriguing book! I really enjoyed her fist book, and I was interested in seeing how her next book would turn out. I had such a fantastic time reading it! Going back and forth between this dangerous ride, and "the incident" I had to know the full truth of what was going on!

Brooke has a lot of pressure on her, her family is very prominent, a legacy Ivy League family, and her dad is in consideration for being appointed judge. So the harassments about the incident, that there was something fishy about it, she's doing her best to ignore it. But then she gets chased onto the section of road that has no service...things are escalating. 

We're in Brooke's head, and I'm so in the characters perspectives, that I have a hard time seeing them from outside of that. But there were a fair amount of moments when I thought, oh, I don't really like her. I understood what she was doing, but that didn't justify her actions. There really wasn't a very likable character in this book, but that just made it interesting. 

That ending, with the reveal of what happened the night of the incident, that was so well done! I was on the edge of my seat, it was so excited to see it play out. Add in the tension with the truck tailing them, with no cell service, when they're telling her to confess...yeah, I loved it. And that final chapter, with the chat, gave us a complete picture, which I really enjoyed! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read more by Megan Lally!
