Three teenagers are going on the trip of a lifetime. Only one is coming back.

I may have abhorred the main characters, and that ending, but I actually enjoyed reading it the last 150 pages. Of course most of that time was spent trying to hide myself under the blankets without suffocating. Now if only I could recall where I put my notes on this....
