Complicated
on Holly Jackson you have done it again, endless thanks @tandemcollectiveglobal @ballantinebooks @hojay92 for having me on this readalong and gifting me a copy of Not Quite Dead Yet [AD-PR Product]
you know Jet dies at the end but you just can’t help rooting for her to overcome the odds. she’s genuinely so funny, her wit and one liners made her beyond easy to love. there’s so many characters and so many things happening yet i never felt confused and that’s a true testament to Jackson’s talent.
now did i guess the killer, obviously not but i would like a round of applause for guessing two of the twists, a new record for me yall. the layers to this book made it impossible to stop turning the page and the fact that it takes place in a week means the pacing never slacks.
there was a lot of sadness in this one (and enough medical terminology to make me squeamish) i highly recommend this one, especially as the weather turns
