6 students who are all freshman at university and they decide to start a game with levels of consequences and as you know from the cover, one student will not make it to the end.

Unfortunately, this book just didn't do it for me and I will tell you why. For a time, I wasn't sure which of the 6 students was narrating in the present part of the book and I didn't love it. As far as the format of the book - there are parts being narrated in the present and then the back story being told in chronological order. There are NO chapters per say and roman numerals all over the place and I couldn't quite get the gist of them. I would have preferred if in editing there had been something inserted to allow the reader greater ease as to know when it was present and when it was back during the freshman year.
