3.0

This book is so addictive, but also underwhelming.

The premise had me insanely hooked, and the book jumps straight into it which I did appreciate! But then our main character Jet reads like an obnoxious YA character, so you have to get past that before you can get into the actual story.

It was a very easy read which kept me (incorrectly) guessing at every plot twist and overall I enjoyed! The mystery was overall reasonably well done, but I do think the ending sucked so that also slightly ruined it for me.

Did I finish the book or did the book finish me? Why was I delusional enough to believe that

A twisty mystery where a young woman tries to solve her own murder before she dies, layered with themes of chronic illness, family grief, and resilience—once you get past the FMC’s oddly youthful voice, it’s a gripping read.
