Holly Jackson is becoming one of my favorite authors! She writes such compelling thrillers, I always finish them in a couple of days. The story was so well crafted and planned, and even if I kinda guess who the killer was, the ending was still shocking. The only "bad" thing I have to say about this book (which isn't even a bad thing really, just a personal preference) is that I missed the more "interactive" pages like the ones in AGGGTM (like Pip's annotations, emails, texts and evidence she found). Absolutely recommend this!!!

I absolutely loved this premise, I personally have never read anything like it before. I also really loved Jackson’s writing. This was my first book of hers, and I was pleasantly surprised at how she was able to draw me in immediately, and keep my attention the entire time. The way she wrote her characters was another thing I really enjoyed. I didn’t care for many of them too much, but they’ve still piqued my interest and I had to know more about them. The way the timeline was set up was super easy to follow, and I love how each day was separated into its own section. It really kept up the pace. Overall I really enjoyed this book, and it has me curious to pick up Holly’s other books!
