I have to say, Jackson really knows how to write tense scenes. The stalking portion was genuinely scary. The second part was pretty far-fetched, but I enjoyed it overall.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I absolutely gobbled this trilogy UP! When I started it, I never would have imagined this is where we’d end up. Pip’s PTSD was SO realistic and devastating. The plot took the most unexpected turns possible, but I absolutely believed every bit of it. I can’t believe Holly Jackson so flawlessly has us rooting for Pip even as her character grows darker and darker…
