Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson
3.0
dark emotional mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I liked this at the beginning, but lost interest as it went on. I didn’t particularly care about the characters and you kind of need that investment to really get into the book, I think. Jet and Billy’s romance was uninteresting to me compared to the main plot, though I understand the need for side plots. I also felt that it was hard to feel suspense when you know where the main plot is going and how things are going to end. The actual ending was underwhelming, too. All in all, an okay experience, don’t have any extremely positive or negative feelings towards it.
