I think I really liked this one but I’m still recovering a bit from the intensity of the last couple chapters, so I might feel differently once I recover from that shock. Overall I was very hooked by the mystery of the story and needing to find out who the killer was definitely kept me reading. I think without that I might not have been as involved since Jet is kind of a b*tch and I wasn’t really a fan of her. She grows on you a little bit I guess but maybe it’s a good thing she’s not my all-time favourite FMC, since she only had a week to live after all! I’m definitely very satisfied having read something fairly unique and I do love that Holly Jackson always keeps you guessing (even though I did have one tiny inkling that turned out to be right) there were enough surprised to delight. Overall a decent book and I’m happy to have read it.
