 “I think I’ve spent so long waiting for it all to begin, for life to really start, that I missed out on what it was really all about.”

This was everything I need right now. A fast, fun thriller that left me speechless by the end. I did not see all of those twists coming, and I did not see that ending coming either! Billy and Jet reminded me a lot of Pip and Ravi from AGGGTM, which was nice. When I read the blurb, I thought that this would be similar to How to Survive Your Murder, and I'm so happy that I was wrong, because this book was so much better! And the ending didn't make me mad like Five Survive did. There's something about Holly Jackson's books that I can just binge. But I am also very traumatized now. Holly Jackson needs to pay for everyone's therapy bills.

Also, this book isn't YA, and that's probably because of all the swearing lol.
