“hey sarge, remember me?”

its that violent sobbing but silent bc your whole family is asleep but if you dont let it out you will just implode. holy shit.

this whole book gave me so much anxiety but it was so worth it, i think this is one of my new favourite book series i’ve read!!

ravi, where do i find a ravi? because i would really like a ravi, please and thank you!

i also live how all the books are connected (obvs because its a series) but like information from the past that we learnt is brought up again. from the first book to the second and onto the third. holly jackson and her powerful brain!! its all just one big web!

im not else sure what to say but holly jackson you get a gold star!! i want more from team pip and ravi!! i miss them already.

due to the nature of this book im not going to spoil ANYTHING for a certain miss bb who is reading it currently. so here is my short and sweet review.

This book was so insane and I can’t even lie…it left me feeling empty once I was done. I love all these characters so much and I’m sad to be done with these books. What a way to end such a good series.

3.5 stars • Audiobook • I feel like the amount of research that went into this book to make all the ends meet was crazy and very well done.

However, I don’t know how I felt about the drastic character development of Pip as she dealt with the trauma of the second book.  Then with the reveal of who her stalker was so early in the book, and Pip making the decision she does.. the book quickly shifts tone and becomes so dark.

The podcasts and interviews of the first two books, a formula that I felt worked so well previously, were definitely missed in this book.

This book was so good. It was quite dark, but a perfect end to the series. It tied up all the loose ends and came full circle. Easily 5 stars.

Ugh completely hated the turn in character from Pip. About half way through I was just wishing I didn't read this last one. Great series ruined.
