Overall a solid ending to the AGGGTM series! This book was definitely the hardest to get through for me, the descriptions of Pip's PTSD, anxiety, & paranoia were very intense (but also very real because of all the shit she's been through). 

very VERY happy Max Hastings got punched in the face by Nat, she well deserved to do that and more!!! Max got what he deserved in the end and that's all that matters to me 🤷‍♀️

It was quite easy to sort out the Jason/DT business (and that Pip would kill him), but I really did not see the whole pin someone else for murdering him plot coming lol. But lik Ravi is the epitome of supportive boyfriend, helping your GF get away with murder??? okay...

I know Pip still tried to help him in the end but I wish more thought had gone into the Billy side of the plot. My man was coerced by the police and sat in jail for YEARS and Pip helping seemed kinda tacked on the end.

I will say I'm a big fan of thr cyclical nature of these cases! The way they all flow from one to the next and are all connected is So Good. Loved seeing points from the other books being used in the current investigations.
