Holy smokes was this a good book!

I’d honestly say that this is probably one of my favorite reads this year. The book wrapped up the AGGGTM trilogy in an amazing way, and it’s definitely worth reading.

I love how we get to see Pip become darker and darker with each book, and how she kind of gets corrupted. *This book is a lot darker and more gruesome than the previous two, so keep that in mind.*

It was full of twists and when you began reading it you really had no idea where it was about to end up. There were so many turns and plot twists. It literally had me biting my nails. While reading the first book I never could’ve imagined that this was how it all would end.

I enjoyed how everything came around full circle and that the events of all three books are tied together. Truthfully, I had my copy of AGGGTM next to me to go back and check things and figure out my theories - so I can recommend doing that.

And prepare yourself with some tissues for the ending.

All in all, Holly Jackson is a brilliant writer and I cannot wrap my head around how she comes up with everything! A must read for fans of the thriller genre - or anyone, really…

Just as funny, as ridiculous, as the notion of decomposing bodies and the way we all become one.
