This book has emotionally wrecked me in the best way. I can’t adequately review this without spoiling the plot. As always, Holly Jackson wrote an excellent mystery and robust characters.

Oh I hate you, Holly Jackson.

Another emotional fucking rollercoaster. I knew it was coming, but goddamn did it hurt. I haven’t sobbed like that over a book in a looong time. 

Holly is an absolute mastermind. I thought I knew the answer at least ten different times and I still ended up being wrong. Everything came together so perfectly, still managing to shock me even as everything clicked in my mind. 

My poor, sweet Billy💔
