The final book in the series😭I have loved every book so so much it will forever be my favourite. 
Miss Jackson really put my girl Pip through it in this book, seeing her deal with PTSD was horrible. I definitely think this lead her to making some poor decisions but she made it out the other side, thankfully. 
I think this is my potentially my favourite out of the series but I had mad anxiety the entire time. The DT killer (before being unmasked) was so creepy and then when Pip was
going through the process of framing Max I was so stressed about her leaving evidence behind, CCTV cameras seeing her, etc. 
Jason Bell is one of the biggest creeps in this series, potentially overtaking my hate for Max. But I’m so glad they both got what they deserved. 
The ending of this book fucking destroyed me, Ravi is my baby and I had to see him screaming and crying on the floor whilst Pip walked away from him (you’re in my bad books for that bestie but I still love you).

I am actually desperate for more of this story, I have to know what happened with Max’s trial, if Ravi became a lawyer,
how Pip told Becca Bell about her dad and how Andie knew everything.
I need to see Pip reunite with her family and Cara, Connor, Jamie, Nat and Naomi. And MOST IMPORTANTLY
I need to see her reunite with Ravi. If they came back even stronger, if they get married, have kids.
I am so invested and I will never get enough of these characters. 
Unless Holly Jackson decides to write a sequel, I’m moving on to the prequel and waiting patiently for the TV show.
