Five Total Strangers by Natalie D. Richards

3.7/5

Five Total Strangers is a New York Times bestselling young adult thriller from Natalie D. Richards, published by Sourcebooks Fire, in which a teenager named Mira finds herself stranded at an airport during a snowstorm and accepts a ride home with four people she doesn't know — only to realize that one of them has been sending her threatening letters and has sinister plans for the journey. School critics called it "a page-turning thriller that will keep readers guessing until the very end," while critical coverage found the menacing letters melodramatic and the ending a stretch — making it a well-paced but uneven entry in the YA suspense genre, best suited for readers aged 14–18 who enjoy claustrophobic, whodunit-style tension.
