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.

Not a fan. Writing was spectacular but I’m a little disappointed by where it went. PTSD writing was very good, though.

Not a fan of how it came so close to glorifying murder.

Pip’s character development is very real and true, though brutal.

I thought this was a really great end to the series, especially how it linked them all together. The author is so talented with how it was all done. I like how quick and easy it was to read and understand as I have struggled with thriller/crime type books like these in the past. The reason I rated it down was because I just didn’t like the side story of Pip taking the substances. And it was all a bit of a stretch.

This series started off as a really interesting murder mystery but over the course of the series it's focus turns to trauma, how it affects you and what it feels like. Holly Jackson's description of PTSD is incredibly well done. All of the characters feel really rich no matter how small they are. It's a fantastic series
