Wow! What a great end to the trilogy! I love how all the books were connected and everything was tied up nicely. CRAZY twists and jaw dropping moments for sure!

Although the “mystery” wasn’t very mysterious, everything else was fantastic.

This book was CRAZY!!! It was so many hours of pure anxiety waiting to see what would happen next. It was really really dark, which I wasn't expecting, as this is YA. It was a bit gruesome and hard to read at points. I liked this as the series ending, though I do think some moments are really out of character for a few of them.

loved it but GGBB remains my favourite.

The whole no-contact thing at the end just felt too far-fetched. I get the cover up, it was a little weird since imo it easily could’ve passed/been disguised as self defence, but I get that it was relevant to the plot. but why would she then need to distance herself from people who - unlike Ravi - didn’t even know about it, let alone were involved in it (like her family)? that felt a little forced in order to make the ending more dramatic and open.

Plus

the DT-scene

was a little intense for me at times but then again what did I expect seeing that title and cover (maybe a little too much for YA though? idk).

Still, nothing can keep me from reading every single thing Holly Jackson publishes, and I liked how seemingly irrelevant things from the previous books were resolved (

like the backstory of why Andie was the way she was and why Sal put up with her - I‘d been slightly confused/irritated by that in the previous books but didn’t expect it to be picked up again like that; or the way Barney died, breaking my heart AGAIN

), all without major plot holes or inconsistencies.
And I really liked the portrayal of

Pip’s ptsd, panic attacks, addiction etc as well as everything on sexual assault trials and the criminal justice system.

The best crime/mystery/thriller series I‘ve ever read
