I could FEEL pips exhaustion throughout this whole book only not a 5 because of the slightly rushed ending , which I didn’t feel was an issue at all in the first two. GREAT READ!

ugh … my least favourite out of the trilogy.

i liked part one of the book, was reminiscent of the first two, but part two was soooo long and dragged with unnecessary detail. if i’m being honest it aggravated me to the point where i wanted to skip til the end.

the ending is another thing in itself because how do we have soooo much waffle in part two and then end the book like that 😭 i get the idea but i think ending pip and ravi’s journey like that was not doing them justice at all

pipravi supremacy tho <3

Holly Jackson’s books and especially her agggtm series is incredible!! I was in a huge book slump until I started reading the series and it really got me back in the mood for reading. I recommend her books for murder mystery fans!!
