Absolutely phenomenal! I would give this even six stars if I could. The feelings, the energy, the emotions this series has given me has far beat beyond any other series I have ever read. I am gobsmacked, as someone who has read my entire life I’ve never found a series that I’ve connected to as much as agggtm. Holly Jackson’s writing is so gripping, and just when you think that was the end of the plot, or the biggest twist, boom it hits with another one. As someone who is doing Criminology, I really enjoy how this series is so real and raw about the reality of our world, the meaning of “justice” and the criminal justice system as a whole. Thank you Holly, for a series that will always have a huge place in my heart, onto reading the novella- knowing that it is ending truly terrifies me, but you have written what has become my favourite book series of all time and I’m so excited for what is to come, and beyond keen and ready for the TV show to come out. Truly Holly, your writing is everything and while this series leaves me terrified, it leaves me terrified in a way with so much love, emotion and feeling full in my heart.
