nothing beats a jet2holiday, not even death. and never trust a family father in a holly jackson book.
i really enjoyed that. as a huge fan of books that take place within a week this was literally made for me. on the other hand iâm usually not a huge fan of knowing a character will die at the end, but i didnât mind it so much here. holly jackson simply knows whatâs up.
i wish i had written down my wild guesses after the first chapter because i completely forgot my suspects.when they were still pretty vague about what happened with emily, i thought she might still be alive and killed jet for revenge for ruining her life. but as soon as they confirmed her death i knew luke had to be involved.
and it only got worse, didnât it? i also guessed that billys mom left because of an affair (which was at least partly true). for a moment i thought, maybe it was jets dad and billys mom but then i remembered that jets mom didnât vote for billys dad and that sealed the deal. i did not connect the dots, though. i didnât expect luke actually to be his fucking son.
when they revealed that, i knew it had to be billys dad. i was so giddy that i figured it out, that i was caught completely off guard when jet died. it happened sooo quickly. i really liked her journey and iâm very proud of her. that being said, iâm not the biggest fan of the last chapter.
the fact that there was no real ârevealâ for me probably adds to that. but i also just hated that luke shot him. up until then everything was fine. but billys das shouldâve rotted in jail and luke was supposed to change for the better. i guess, itâs poetic in a way, but i still donât like it.
nevertheless, i really loved this. until the next one!!!

I was curious about this book because I enjoyed Holly Jacksonâs YA novels some years ago and wanted to see how her first adult thriller would compare.
However, I found the main characters a bit childish in the way they interacted with the world and with each other. I donât mind reading YA from time to time, but in this story it started to feel a little annoying.
The plot takes place over a few days, with some references to the past woven in. Those parts were interesting, but overall it didnât feel like a steadily building, gripping thrillerâperhaps because there were so many twists along the way.
In the end, I gave it 3.75 stars. I enjoyed the story, but I wasnât sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next.
