I truthfully cannot remember a time recently I flew through a book this fast. Holly Jackson does it again with another mind-bending and intricate thriller.

I was fascinated with the plot of this book, the main character having 7 days to solve her own murder before she actually dies? WOW. And even knowing from the start of the book that she is going to die, Jackson managed to surprise me with that too. I absolutely loved the touches of Jet's letters and grew very fond of Billy Finney while reading. Overall, this book was captivating not only in the mystery/plot, but also in the complex character relationships that drive the story as well.

Holly Jackson does it again. What an interesting idea for a thriller. The characters are amazingly written, the plot is captivating, the twists are well thought through and all in all this is just a fantastic read.

I was sobbing so hard at the end oh my god. I loved Jet so much she made the book just so much more enjoyable. however, the plot twists were very predictable and it may be also because i’ve read all of her other books but it definitely felt like the rest of them with just more swearing lmao but tbf her other books lean on the more adult side of YA anyways. i won’t be sleeping tonight <3
