A review by leapoffaith01
Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson

5.0

This book absolutely crushed me. I’ve got to start reading more of Holly Jackson’s books. She’s such an amazing author. She gives you just enough information to theorize the ending to the mystery but also little enough that you don’t know what’s coming next. I also love the way she incorporates other media (transcripts, letters, etc.) into her books. It makes it so much more immersive. 

As for the premise of the book, it was incredibly intriguing and absolutely heartbreaking. I cried before the 10% mark and was sobbing by the end. 

I also loved the relationship that developed between Jet and Billy as the book went on. Billy is such a proper gentleman and nothing bad should ever happen to him. “Do you see me?” “I’ve always seen you, Jet”

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for a fair review! I believe this book is a must read for 2025!
