Aside from the chapters where they were actually playing Panic, I found the whole thing quite dull to read, not much really happens between each round of Panic.

So you can imagine why I was excited, sounds like a great book right? Wrong. Everyone has something to play for.įor Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them-and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most. But what he doesn’t know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.ĭodge has never been afraid of Panic.

She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do. Here is the blurb so you guys can read it: It’s also kind of misleading because you assume that it’s a dystopian and it’s actually a contemporary. From the blurb, I thought it was going to be really exciting, it seemed kind of Hunger Games-esque, but the book just didn’t live up to it’s blurb. It’s one of those books that I don’t hate but I don’t love, I just felt kind of meh about it. It took me a while to finish this book, because of the usual not having enough time to read, but also because I never really got into it. It’s been a few weeks since I last posted a review, but I hope you’ve all been enjoying my daily posts, and that those will tide you guys over between reviews from now on.
