What We Did to Survive<\/strong> by Megan Lally is the kind of thriller that crawls under your skin and refuses to let you relax.<\/p>\n

After loving That\u2019s Not My Name<\/em>, I went into this one expecting similar vibes\u2014and wow, did it deliver\u2026 and then crank the tension way up. A spring break trip to a gorgeous Mexican resort sounds like a dream, but once the story shifts to a private sailboat heading straight into stormy waters, the anxiety kicks in hard. Being stuck on a boat with no escape? Absolutely not. I was basically breathing into a paper bag the entire time.<\/p>\n

This is one of those books where you\u2019re yelling at the characters, questioning every decision, and wondering why<\/em> they would do that\u2014while also being completely unable to stop reading. The tension is relentless, and I\u2019ll admit, I had to take a few breaks because it was that<\/em> intense (though my personal boat-related trauma may have played a role).<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the twist. The kind that hits you out of nowhere and makes you say, How did I not see that coming?!<\/em> Maybe some readers will guess it, but I was too busy stressing out and shouting at the pages to put the pieces together\u2014and honestly, that made it even more fun.<\/p>\n

If you love edge-of-your-seat thrillers that make your heart race, your palms sweat, and your brain spiral, What We Did to Survive<\/strong> is absolutely for you. Just maybe don\u2019t read it before your next beach vacation. <\/p>\n

A huge thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the intense, anxiety-inducing eARC! All thoughts and opinions are my own.<\/p>\n
