Ehhh, I must say this book was in my opinion so so. Of course I was stressing the whole time and absolutey gobsmacked at the plotwist mid-book, but from there it got slightly dull and repetitive
when Pip already killed yk who and was trying to get away with it and plan her escape
The build up and stress of the plot-twist and
thinking Pip was gonna die or whilst she was escaping and overall the build up to that
was so stressful and had my stomach twisting so bad it physically hurt, but I wanted to know!! The ending was sort of underhwelming
with us not knwoing what happens with Pip and Ravi in the end, not if Pip even replied to him and with what?!
, I was hoping for a little more context but I think it's a real welldone to Holly Jackson for having me so angry and desperate for more at the end. I feel we could've had so much more with this book and, I'm not sure, I feel I was expecting more from all the hype around the finale . Overall the first half was mega interesting and the plot-twist part but after that, the book sorta went downhill (in my opinion).
And just in addition I think Pip's druggie era was totally weird and unecessary.
.   One thing I for sure LOVED is seeing the contrast between boook one Pip and this book Pip. Other thank that goodluck reading this, you shall need it, for both the good and bad parts!!
