Oh I hate you, Holly Jackson.

Another emotional fucking rollercoaster. I knew it was coming, but goddamn did it hurt. I haven’t sobbed like that over a book in a looong time. 

Holly is an absolute mastermind. I thought I knew the answer at least ten different times and I still ended up being wrong. Everything came together so perfectly, still managing to shock me even as everything clicked in my mind. 

My poor, sweet Billy💔

Honestly, I feel like I need to tick all the escriptive emotions up there.
This book is a rollercoaster that takes you in a wild ride.
The main plot point of "Character solves her own murder" is intriguing and works surprisingly well.

Would definitely recommend this book.

I loved this book! Against the end you kind of already figured it out though (for me though) but I still enjoyed it!

I got to hand it to Holly Jackson, the idea behind this book was crazy good! Honestly, I couldn't stop reading! I liked this a lot more than her previous standalone books. Jet and Billy's relationship was great, and I thought the mystery was really well done.
