While Pip isn’t as naive as she was two books ago, there is still just a lot in this novel that represents a more juvenile perspective on life and that makes the story unrealistic. I love the romance and family elements that were included in this latest installment. I’m surprised, in a way, about Pip’s actions and her acceptance of them but lean towards believe that she did what was best.

i love these books so its no surprise i loved this one, there are a few cons i have for it (no charlie green type epilogue / lack of closure on a few things) but apart from that it was really just a good book, i can only hope there will be a fourth one despite knowing that is NOT going to happen but yeah if you wanna read it, go for it!!

This had me going up and down with my ratings. First and foremost I always suspected Pip had OCD but now I’m SURE of it. She needed help even before she was traumatized 🫠 Follow her on a journey where she has become completely disenchanted with the judicial system. I can’t say I’m a fan of the ending but it did make sense 🤷🏼‍♀️

WTF, the second half of this book was just..wrong, should have ended differently, but still, the writing is good and there are themes very difficult like PTSD that are treated right

I’m scared of Holly Jackson’s search history.
