As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson
3.0
This book was amazingly well written (as all of Holly Jackson’s books are); however, I must admit that I hated the storyline for the second half of the book.
I can understand Pip killing Jason tbh, but more in a way that even though she was getting away, she may have still feared for her life. The whole cover up story felt so wrong, I can’t imagine Pip doing that, and I find it hard to believe that Ravi and all her friends were willing to help. With the amount of evidence that she had that he was the DT killer (the DNA in his car, the duct tape with her DNA on it, and the trophies Jason had) I don’t understand why she wouldn’t go to the police. Even with a lack of trust for them, with that amount of evidence surely you’d think the police can help?
ALSO breaking up with Ravi? That broke me. I’m glad in the end they got back in contact, but with her reasoning for covering up the murder being that she wanted her normal/happy life back, it would have been nice reading more about her actually getting to live that life.
