Ich fand Red echt schrecklich und der Anfang war einfach wirr, aber der Rest war gut und die Plottwists von Holly Jackson sind einfach unschlagbar.

You know how they say if you wanna get out of reading slump you should read a thriller? This was not it for me.

This starts very confusing and in all honesty it kind of put me back into reading slump because it has so much things to take in within the first five chapters. But then when the action actually started, it became very fast-paced and then there were some occasions where it just slumped all over again. But then the plot twist came towards maybe 75% when I was in the book really threw me off balance I guess which is why this is such a good thriller.

Oliver very much annoyed me, and he was one of the main demotivating factors for me when it came to reading this book because he was just annoying and every single time he would open his mouth to say something I wanted to just end him. Red was a bit of a confusing character because she had some characteristics that annoyed me a bit I mean, I know for a fact that nobody is perfect, but this was just taken into whole new level so it did annoy me to certain extent, but all in all the other characters were pretty good.

Again, like I said, you will feel confused just as soon as you start the book because there’s so much information being dumped on you, and then added to that you will have Oliver coming and messing everything up… all in all this was an okay thriller read.

this was fun but a bit annoying sometimes because red just truly sat there like :p the entire time

gurl this book got me so stressed. what an absolute insane situation the characters were put in. i was able figure out some parts of the puzzle but at the same time the twists were surprising. the end made me cry (man it hit too close to home in some type of way). anyways, what a great fast-paced mystery thriller.

After flying through the AGGGTM books, I decided to read another one of Holly Jackson’s books. Oh my god, I did not expect that ending. Some parts I had a feeling about, but I did not expect that ending. I definitely teared up at the end. Another book well written by Holly Jackson.
