Love this, read it in a day. Had me on the edge of my seat through it all. The most frustrating thing about this book, was Oliver. Very well written!

I dont know were to begin
What i do know is that i loved Red, she’s so like me in some aspects and i think thats why i loved her that much.
Also i hate Oliver every time he spoke i wanted to slap him in the face.

Not as good as the agggtm series but i enjoyed this a LOT
Also, i read this book in a road trip, in a RV, i was so scared while reading this you have no idea.

Oh my gods at first I was kind of sceptical about this book, the beginning was a bit slow paced and I had a hard time getting into the mystery and liking the characters, however what pushed me through was my ABSOLUTE HATE for one of the characters and when I tell you I’ve never hated a character so much in my life like he’s up there with Max Hastings, both of those are the only ones that got me physically screaming at my book.

Also the last third of the book is INSANE and a non stop page turner, and the last three pages almost got me sobbing!

This is the latest of Holly Jackson, I have read (I’ve read all her other books except killjoy) and honestly, she has done it again and will always do it for me what a queen

Loved it!!! 4.5⭐️. Hated one of the characters. Alot happened. Liked the time lines and I did not guess all of the plot twists. Love Holly's writing

This book was.. fine? I really enjoyed the first half, it was fast paced and just the right amount of nerve wracking. However, the end really fell flat for me, I found it all very predictable and honestly a bit boring. I wish I loved Holly Jackson the way others seem to but her books just never quite land for me. This book is probably a 2.5.
