10 Hours to Go by Keely Parrack -> Starting April 10th, 2024

[Aly]

Lily wants to get home. Her friends want to get even. Lily needs a ride―a fire warning in Oregon has cancelled her train home to California. Her ex-best friend, Natasha, has offered to pick Lily up on her way back from Portland, though they're barely on speaking terms. As it turns out, Natasha's also giving a ride to Elke Azizi, the girl Lily got expelled from their school four years ago. Elke hasn't forgotten, and neither has Natasha. It's getting tense in the car, and it's not just about the past. There's smoke in the air, and with the wildfires nearby, staying on the road is becoming riskier by the hour. When Natasha and Elke decide to take a detour, Lily hopes it'll get them out of danger. She has no idea, though, what her former friends have planned for her. But as night comes, the plans change again when it becomes all too clear that leaving the main road was a mistake. Now the three of them are trapped in the woods under a burning sky, with no easy way out. To survive, Lily must depend on Elke and Natasha―but after all that's happened, can she trust them with her life?

Finally read this one.

Chapters 1-9
(view spoiler)[
This is good so far. The fire's moving in but they don't seem to be in immediate danger yet. Also Natasha, Elke, and Darius are jerks for doing that to Lily. Like you're seriously holding a grudge over something that happened when they were twelve?

Chapters 10-18
(view spoiler)[
These people are so damn lost. I don't think splitting up like that was a good idea but really what could they do, they're out of gas. And now Natasha is injured which I'm sure will make getting out even harder.

Chapters 19-27
(view spoiler)[
Ok that old man in the woods was super creepy. But Darius found them and can at least get Natasha out on her bike. With her injured ankle, she was making everything a lot slower. Hopefully they'll get out soon with two fires closing in on them.

Chapters 28-37
(view spoiler)[
The end there was pretty suspenseful with no clue if everyone would make it out. I'm glad they all did and that they fixed their friendships. The dog at the end was really cute.
