4.75

I only put 4.75 instead of 5 because there some of the topics included are of mature nature, but handled well by Jackson. Jackson weaves many parts together in a way that is congruent and flowing. Happy that I was able to track and figure it out.

Review after rereading:

I guess my hyperfixation to this series reignited after watching the show. I appreciated Holly Jackson's writing more after my reread. She is indeed a genius.

And since I can't wait to read again how it all ties together, I'm off to read Good Girl, Bad Blood.
