ugh … my least favourite out of the trilogy.

i liked part one of the book, was reminiscent of the first two, but part two was soooo long and dragged with unnecessary detail. if i’m being honest it aggravated me to the point where i wanted to skip til the end.

the ending is another thing in itself because how do we have soooo much waffle in part two and then end the book like that 😭 i get the idea but i think ending pip and ravi’s journey like that was not doing them justice at all

pipravi supremacy tho <3

Holly Jackson’s books and especially her agggtm series is incredible!! I was in a huge book slump until I started reading the series and it really got me back in the mood for reading. I recommend her books for murder mystery fans!!

Wow. Just… Wow. The best book I’ve read this year. By far. Oh my god, I can’t stop crying. Have I ever read a book that’s made me feel more in quality and quantity???

1. Again with Holly putting drugs into her books- I COULDN'T PHYSICALLY PUT THIS BOOK DOWN.
2. Give Pip a break, please and thank you.
3. This book physically hurt every part of my body and I literally was so sad in the end that I couldn't even feel emotions anymore-
4. I loved it...Holly can't write a bad book.
