Holly Jackson does it again. I’m crying on the train. 
So many intriguing stories that line up at the end. A big twist to finish it off. A heartbreaking final chapter to finish me off. I’ll never get sick of her writing.

Really loved this. I did guess the killer  early on but it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the book (and I still thought I could be wrong). Another great one from Holly Jackson. Her best since A Good Girl’s Guide

HOLLY ARE YOU KIDDING ME??

Phew, okay. 

I might be a little biased because Holly is my favorite and is always an automatic five stars for me. Her stories are always so twisty and fun and devastating. I swear bestie likes to make me cry in every single book, which unforgivable!!

Jet. My funny little Jet. She only has a week to solve her own murder and she's not going to die without getting her answers - no matter what it takes. I LOVED Jet. She made her way to my number two spot in fmc created by Holly. She's funny, sarcastic and maybe a little mean. 

It was a fast paced (holly's stories always are!) thriller that kept me turning page after page, needing to know the ending. But above all else, it was character driven story about fighting for your life and realizing the small things DO matter. 

Honestly, I don't even know what else to say. It was perfect. 

Thank you to Holly, the publisher and to netgalley for the arc!
