It's so hard to put all my thoughts into words. I would definitely say I liked the first 2 so much better. What Pip did at the 60% mark had my jaw on the floor, but not in a good way. SHe didn't have

to kill him. She just didn't. She could have gone to the police, she could have just run, she could have done so many other things. But kill him brutally? No. She was completely blinded by all the pain she's had to endure. It also bothered me how there were so many people she could have reached out to for help with dealing with her trauma. But she chose to shut everyone, even Ravi, out. Plus, the police's complete denial that anything was happening felt like it was done for the plot, not because that would really happen.

I need to go read a happy rom-com or something light after this book. I would say this was my least favorite, considering all the twisting of justice in this book. You can't justify Pip or Ravi's actions to me. Will forever love the first two books but this one is not for me.

Absolutely phenomenal! I would give this even six stars if I could. The feelings, the energy, the emotions this series has given me has far beat beyond any other series I have ever read. I am gobsmacked, as someone who has read my entire life I’ve never found a series that I’ve connected to as much as agggtm. Holly Jackson’s writing is so gripping, and just when you think that was the end of the plot, or the biggest twist, boom it hits with another one. As someone who is doing Criminology, I really enjoy how this series is so real and raw about the reality of our world, the meaning of “justice” and the criminal justice system as a whole. Thank you Holly, for a series that will always have a huge place in my heart, onto reading the novella- knowing that it is ending truly terrifies me, but you have written what has become my favourite book series of all time and I’m so excited for what is to come, and beyond keen and ready for the TV show to come out. Truly Holly, your writing is everything and while this series leaves me terrified, it leaves me terrified in a way with so much love, emotion and feeling full in my heart.

shiiiiit havde gemt det sidste kapitel fordi jeg troede, at det ville være super trist, men i stedet vendte jeg bare siden til den bedste slutning muligt
