This book is as much of a roller coaster of a mystery as the first, if no more so. Holly Jackson swiftly rose to become one of my top 5 favorite authors.
Pips journey through learning about herself is relatable, tense, yet staggeringly inspiring. She sticks to her guns and goals, no matter what. I empathize when she hurts and I celebrate her victories.
No spoilers in this review! You need to read it for yourself! Just know that nothing is as it seems… and the end will make you want to do nothing but turn the page to find out what’s next!
The way Holly does not dwell heavily on her characters past trauma or describing certain intense/dangerous situations happening in Pips present is a tricky balance that she succeeds so well in.
5/5 plot, character development, and pacing *chefs kiss* 100/100 would recommend
