I’d heard about this book before picking it up. Having already read one of Clare Bentley’s novels, I knew I’d get to it eventually, and I’m so glad I did!
You know when you think you understand what a book is about, only to be pleasantly surprised? This was exactly like that. I really enjoyed it.
Poor Poppy didn’t—and in her situation, neither would I. In fact, I doubt I’d be anywhere near as brave as she was. Breaking down on a secluded road at night is every woman’s nightmare. It’s the kind of thing nightmares are made of, and for Poppy, it certainly becomes one.
But it’s not just about her. The story also explores the anguish of those left behind – namely, her parents, brother, and boyfriend. What I found particularly intriguing were the actions of certain characters; as the secrets unfold, I found myself more and more drawn in.
Although the book has a satisfying ending, when characters stay with you like these did, you can’t help but wonder what happens next. Luckily, I know the author has just finished the second book in the series, so I’m hoping it’s released this year – especially while Survive the Night is still fresh in my mind.
