5 ⭐️
This twisty thriller provides a unique storyline, engaging characters, and satisfying twists. Great as a buddy read/bookclub read!
Characters: I quite liked Jet as a character—she is a little unconventional, maybe a tad immature, and definitely sarcastic. I enjoyed her sardonic response to the situations she was placed in and felt like she was relatable. The remaining side characters, including her best friend, Billy, were all well constructed as well. It is clear the author put a lot of thought into the roles each character would play and how each character could be a suspect in Jet’s death.
Plot: TWISTY! I felt like the twists were twistin’! While I know some people guessed the outcome, I did not and at points there are cases to be made for many different suspects. How the eventual story turns out felt like a satisfying conclusion over all.
Setting: This book is set around Halloween, which makes it a fantastic fall read. The town as described was perfect for the chilling story that unfolds.
Overall: I would recommend this as a solid thriller recommendation for any of my thriller-loving friends. It also works for folks who enjoy crime/whodunnit mystery novels.

Wow this book has given me sooo much appreciation for holly jackson and reminded me how much I love her books!! This was an absolutely crazy ride with sooo much going on at a pretty fast pace, which kept me constantly shocked and entertained. This book was so clever and I never suspected the ending!! I think holly jackson may have had a little TOO much fun with this being her adult debut and there was hence a little TOO much swearing since she could finally do that here hahaha,, but the book was also sooo funny omg I loved jet’s humour! I had fun with all the plot twists and overall was a fast and fun time but with such a sad ending 😭.

Really good story! So unique, engaging and thrilling! Love the twists and secrets revealed! One note: the reason why this doesn’t have a higher rating is because there is a lot of swearing!
