As Good as Dead by Holly Jackson

WHOO BOY, do I have thoughts on this
Was it bad? No, I actually enjoyed this quite a bit. Do I wish I could have ripped out about 150-200 pages because Pip went so off character and pissed me off during that time frame because of what she was doing? Fuck yes
For the final book of the trilogy I feel like it wrapped up a lot of loose ends and helped go end some of the demons that were sitting around since the first book
But god I hated that whole period of…if we put it into 1/4’s, it was roughly 2/4-3/4 of the book. Because of that weak part of that quarter, the final quarter felt really…off
But I liked the final page/picture. Because at least that means that the whole plan actually worked
Thoughts Part 2: Okay so raging about this, I also have the devils advocate voice in my head that tells me that 1/4 that I hated could also be a whole result of un-treated PTSD
Which…okay, I’ll give it a little bit of a pass for that
