MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK FIVE SURVIVE BY HOLLY JACKSON! You have been warned and now be wary! (you should read it and then come back and look at this after you will thank me I promise it's so good!)

But what if he was Arthur Moore. What if he was, what if there was never a dead spot and never a terrible navigation team. What if they all just got to the campsite and lived happily ever after. (in this situation red's mum was killed by the mafia and she was never needed as a witness)

I quite literally JUST finished the book but I already have fanfiction ideas???

Anyway the book made me want to fold myself into the corner and cry, I did.

I almost finished it in a public space but I didnt it's okay, no sobbing in public this time.

I SWEAR Holly Jackson is like a god upon earth or something every book she has written has left me with a gaping chasm in my soul once I finished it (this makes me very nervous to finish tRoRP) but I can't stop reading her books, I dont even like horror or mystery that much.

I really really really really hated Oliver but I didnt want him to DIE. I feel aas though I should have taken "Five Survive" more literally thinking back on it.

also istg Red's mind is my mind. You don't understand how connected to her I felt (hence the sobbing when I thought she'd died). I always have stuff written on my hand so that it stays in my head.

WHAT IS IT WITH HOLLY JACKSON AND CLIFFHANGER ENDINGS. Like why did she have to NOT do the pier 68 scene. like bro.

Spoilers for Five Survive ‼️

Okay unpopular opinion here, but Red and Arthur were never going to work. Even he, the one who stalked (I know it was with good intentions but let’s call it what it is) her across state lines, knows that in the end.

Arthur quite literally says in the letter that he’ll be waiting at the pier for Red “to say goodbye, or whatever else it is we have to say to each other.”, the pier is his way of offering her a final closure he knows she’ll want. Because no matter how much he wants to be with her, they had fairly slim chances due to his reason for meeting her in the first place, and it’s impossible after he kills Catherine and becomes a fugitive.

And he doesn’t expect her to run away with him to be one too, that would make what he did pointless. He threw away his life to honor Red’s, hoped to give her some sense of justice if she did wake from the coma. And though she does wake, even if she forgives and meets him, they aren’t getting that fairytale ending.

And the saddest part? Under different circumstances, they might have had a chance. I think Red herself puts it best -

“Arthur, not hers, but maybe he could have been.”

If I were Red and I woke up from a coma and read that not only had my crush I’ve got complicated feelings about been in my room, but he wrote “it’s just as messy as I thought it would be” in the midst of apologizing for everything else he did?? I’d have to show up to the Pier just to beat his ass.
