I think I really liked this one but I’m still recovering a bit from the intensity of the last couple chapters, so I might feel differently once I recover from that shock. Overall I was very hooked by the mystery of the story and needing to find out who the killer was definitely kept me reading. I think without that I might not have been as involved since Jet is kind of a b*tch and I wasn’t really a fan of her. She grows on you a little bit I guess but maybe it’s a good thing she’s not my all-time favourite FMC, since she only had a week to live after all! I’m definitely very satisfied having read something fairly unique and I do love that Holly Jackson always keeps you guessing (even though I did have one tiny inkling that turned out to be right) there were enough surprised to delight. Overall a decent book and I’m happy to have read it.

I have to start by saying the audiobook narration felt a bit off for this one. The character voices just didn't feel right to me, which was disappointing because I usually love audiobooks.
But the concept was absolutely original and fascinating right from the start. Holly Jackson really came up with something fresh here and I was immediately hooked. This thing is fast-paced, I blazed through the first 50% in one sitting, which says everything about how engaging it is.
As always, I love Holly Jackson's writing style. She's got this perfect balance of witty and hilarious dialogue, but she knows exactly when to hit you with the emotional moments. Speaking of emotional, this one is definitely heavier on the feelings than her previous books, though the thriller elements are just as strong as anything else she's written.
I absolutely loved this book! It felt so fresh and different, and it got quite emotional by the end, which I honestly didn't see coming at all. I won't forgive Holly Jackson for that heartbreak though 🥲 She really knows how to hit you right in the feelings when you least expect it. This is another winner from her and I'm so glad she's continuing to experiment with different concepts while keeping that signature writing style I've come to love.

HOLLY! YOU CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THESE KILLER (joke intended) PLOTS!
I have a little game with myself to see if I can guess the killer before they're revealed (specifically for Holly Jackson books, because she does SO well) and I can happily say I got kinda close this time aroundI really thought it was going to be Billy and was SHOCKED to my core when it wasn't
I'm pleased, though of course, I a already had big expectations, they were met and exceeded!
