loved this book almost as much as the first well done Holly Jackson

Copied from another app - Love it same as the first one I had no idea what turn it was going to take but it all made sense had my almost crying multiple times in the book 

Upon reflection this book is better than the first one for me

This Book was a really good sequel. I loved AGGGTM, and I absolutely enjoyed this book. Ravi is a really good friend to Pip and Boyfriend. This book evokes pain and grief, but also anger and all around in some parts. I really just wanted to throw the book. All in all this book is pretty solid and really good.

This book was a crazy experience. Surreal. Absolutely unreal.

I have just finished reading and I don't even have the words to explain how amazing this whole thing was. I just sat and binge-read the last 200 pages in on sitting.

First of all, the plot of this book?! Holly, how do you even think of something like this? I would have NEVER guessed what was going to happen. I couldn't put it down. It was such a page-turner! 

Also, Pip's character development? What the heck? It was so well-written and the way she had the realization was super crazy.

I don't think I can put the level of amazingness of this book into words, you'll just have to read it yourself.

This was truly a mindblowing experience. This is definitely a 6 star read for me! I recommend you read it 100%!

First of all, I sobbed. Hard. The tragedy of it all. I feel bereft. 

This one was a little slower for me but I was still very much hooked. I'm glad to have the e-book and the audio especially for when I'm too impatient to just listen. I had the same issues as before with wishing we got the full cast consistently with the audio but I do love the podcast sections when we get the full cast of voices. 

They were barely in it and thankfully because Lauren and Ant irritated the fuck out of me. 

I enjoyed seeing Pip lose and find herself. I think Ravi and Pip are very cute together and I love both characters but honestly so often I wasn't feeling them as a couple.  There's some disconnect or a forced feeling? I dunno. But they are cute together. 

I enjoy the other characters and the different dynamics and growth we see. 

I can't say I had it figured out early and actually I thought it was going to go different way, however, there's a certain character who just gave me a bad feeling and turns out I was right. 

I still believe there's a sort of Pretty Little Liars suspension of belief here which I don't mind. It's not as chaotic as PLL but it's there but damn I wish the author would have stretched it a little further so I didn't have my heart punched around at the end.
