Review:
Please take my review with a grain of salt, because the book slumping has been SLUMPING!
I love anything Holly Jackson writes, but this one was slow for me. I loved Jet's character. She is funny and witty and had me laughing out loud many times. But, the overall pace of this is just slow and a little longer than it needed to be (in my opinion). I felt like it was dragging on and by the end I honestly just wanted it to be over. Yes, I did love Jet and Billy's characters which is why I am rating it 3 stars. But, other than that, I wasn't thrilled, I was honestly just bored. The premise of the story is super unique and I have never read anything like it before. It was honestly just a pacing issue for me which makes me super sad. But, I will still read anything and everything Holly Jackson writes. This book is getting lots of great reviews, so please do yourself a favor and pick this one up and form your own opinion!
Thank you to NetGalley, Holly Jackson, and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for this ARC of Not Quite Dead Yet in exchange for an honest review!
