Though I'm not sure if the book handled them well or not, since I am not an expert on PTSD, nor on what it looks like manifested in people, I did appreciate the portrayal of it. I feel like I would have instantly hated Pip, if she had seen Stanley die in that way and then had carried on with her life as if nothing happened. The repeating motifs of the
I think, there are definitely flaws in this book, like
Despite these nitpicks, I did enjoy this book. I do think it was pretty heavy, and if I had been in a more unstable state of mind, it would have destroyed me. However, it was addicting to read to find out what happened, and I don't mind most of the negative aspects that much. I love the scientific and logical approach all three of these books have had. I also really like the general format of these books, with the notable exception being
I would definitely recommend this, but read all the trigger warnings first, since this book is really heavy.

I’m in shock after this book. I felt very ambivalent and was screaming for a 4th installation until the last 30 seconds. I hope Holly Jackson turns this into an even longer running series. I think she could have. This character is interesting and hard, and the full circle narratives and the continuous pointing to patriarchy as the root of problems is really poignant.
I didn’t see this plot coming at all, and that’s why I’m both angry and impressed. This is not a satisfying book, but it deliberately takes a plot path that is harder and less explored. It dives headfirst into the gray zone with a traumatized Pip, and I found every minute of it well planned.
I’m so sad to say goodbye to the people of Fairview. And the audio narrator, who has given one of the best performances I’ve listened to this year in this series.
Definitely will read anything else Jackson puts out.
