#Survive the night book movie

Since the death of her parents a few years before, sometimes Charlie finds herself in a movie in her own mind and can’t distinguish reality from fantasy. I do love unreliable narrators and Charlie is, without a doubt, an unreliable character. However, are Charlie suspicions correct or is it all a movie in her head? This is 1990s, there are no cell phones to call for help, so Charlie needs to find a way to survive the journey. They met at the college ride share board and he seems nice and polite, although as they talk, Charlie starts to notice that some of the things Josh says don’t match. She can’t wait for the holidays or for her boyfriend to drive her, so she finds a car share with fellow student Josh Baxter. She needs to leave college and go home and forget what had happened two months earlier. The protagonist is Charlie Jordan, a lover of movies in her second year of college. The year is 1991, right before Thanksgiving. The pace is slow, but everything happens during a long night road trip full of tension and twists. Survive The Night is a chilling, suspenseful novel that kept me glued to the pages and I read in one day.
