As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson

Sigh. The entire second half of this book was so unnecessary!
Moreover,

Spoiler

I hate how the only part of this story that may have been an interesting commentary on the criminal justice system was completely sidelined. And the novel knows it, which is why it gives a throw away 2-ish page chapter to Billy Karras at the very end. What a bummer.

Somebody needs to tell this girl about the master's tools!

I've loved these characters since the first book, and the first half of this one was so good (especially once she started looking into the case). But then the second half completely changed the characters for me

Pip could do quite literally anything, and I would support it. I came this far into the series, and I was damn well going to worship Pip's every move because, let's be real, she deserves it. Absolutely adore her, Ravi, Cara, Naomi, Connor, Jamie, Nat, and any other character who contributed to the storyline (not the bad ones). I'm so sad this series is over because what else am I going to go crazy over if not for AGGGTM? Mystery wise, at least. But I'm also really glad I read these books because they were just so good. Almost too good. If they were any better, I might just never recover. This was a great end to a great series, and I will definitely be looking into more Holly Jackson books in the future.

Wow. Can't believe I just finished this. I don't how I'll ever be okay again (jk) but still it was a journey definitely, and this is literally a 5 star trilogy for me, I loved it so much. Team Ravi and Pip forever ❤️
