The format of this one is definitely different than the other two. Without spoiling, about halfway through it takes a big turn. I wish Pip had gone about things very differently than she did, but it fits the state of mind she was in at the time. I wish we could get an epilogue!

3.5

well, i just refreshed the page and lost everything i wrote, so i'm gonna try to piece it together from memory.
i am exhausted.
this book was way too long and way too stressful - i was kept on my toes for about 300 pages straight without a chance to relax even a little bit.
the premise was unexpected, but interesting to me, although it felt dragged out a lot and could've definitely been kept shorter.

what makes this book - at least in my eyes - worse than its prequels: the dt killer reveal wasn't a surprising reveal at all - i was really disappointed that pip and ravi chose to focus on dan again, when it was so obvious after andie's email that jason bell was dt.
in the previous books, pip always seemed to be on a similar track as the reader, but this time she was uncharacteristically off about this stuff, which could be tied to her ptsd and other struggles, but it still struck me as really weird.
the whole "tie together all the strings everything comes together in the end in a full circle"-thing had me swaying from side to side, on the one hand i kinda enjoyed seeing everyone again and i love it when all the dots connect, but on the other hand it was just so. much. and very obvious the author wanted to pull out all the stops, but there were just too many.
the ending was such a relief to me; i would've been so disappointed, had i stressed myself to the point of exhaustion reading this book, without it ending the way it did.

in general, i did enjoy the writing again, although the use of the word "sniff" as a verb as well as a noun was excessive.
in conclusion, not a bad book, it was enjoyable, but i didn't like it as much as the first two, and I don't think i could read it again.
