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

WOW, this book was... something. It really made the 'agggtm' series have a full circle moment.

Just thinking about Andie Bell now makes me feel so sad. Especially when thinking about how she was perceived in the first two books (by myself as well). But really, she was also a victim of the crimes from her father, and was doing anything she could to help her and her sister escape. Things that would only lead to Beccas rape and then Andies murder :((( genuinely breaks my heart

I can't even begin to explain how much I love Pip and Ravi. I am so in love with them and they're both dating me hehe. I have never felt so stressed and tense while reading a book though. Reading was NOT relaxing with this book, I was constantly panicking and stressed for Pip and Ravi. I had to take breaks when reading because it was giving me so much anxiety and that added a good few days to my reading time. Besides the stress and panic this book caused me, it was absolutely beautiful! As always with any Holly Jackson book, the plot was incredible, the writing suburb, and the characters were incredibly complex. Pip was being her amazing self and Ravi was just so lovely. I LOVE THEM. I actually fell more in love with Ravi in this book than I did with the previous two.

There was just something about the way he held Pips chin so gently after she murdered a serial killer that was just,, SO CUTE???

Loved this book, love this universe, and everyday I beg on my hands and knees for Holly Jackson to make a fourth book where I can see Pip and Ravi happily in love, committing no crimes, and just being the best, most hot, funny, beautiful, pretty book couple ever.

oh also the way Ravi was crying on his knees and shouting out to Pip to stay with him was like sooo... so beautiful. Really broke my heart. 10/10 writing!

Really disappointed with how this series ended. Having loved the first two books I thought I would really enjoy this one and for the first half even though it was darker I found it intriguing but it just back too unhinged and found it difficult to finish it.

I called the BBEG at about 30%. Around 60% through, I was confused why there was so much time left. There was a major plot hold in the beginning of the story that I kept thinking back to.

Why didn't anybody ask Josh who was watching their home in the first chapter???

I'm glad that I finished the series but this was my least favorite of the series for sure.

The ending was interesting...?

i am so dissapointed by how everything went down first first of all there is a major twist around the halfway of the book and no it's not the revelation of the identity of the serial killer being discussed or the stalker i think most of the people who read the book figured that out pretty early on but i am talking about

how Pip murders Jason Bell after she's already escaped from his kidnapping and in a really brutal manner too

Not only does that happen but also the rest of the book is just

Pip and nearly all her friends covering up the murder

is it stupid yes but was it bearable also yes but the end

Pip cuts herself off from everyone she knows and then we just see a text from Ravi

this angered me the most i am just going to act like i didn't read this and come up with my own alternative ending
