OMG THIS BOOK!!!!!! This was by far the best book in the trilogy. Holly Jackson's mind is just... amazing. The fact that she can even think of these things and like connect them throughout the books is just a talent. Like there were literally things from the first book in this one like how did you think so far ahead to leave those little clues??? This book had me at the edge of my seat constantly and I spent multiple nights up till 1 am reading this book. The way that Holly Jackson can make your anxiety rise and then quell it only to rise it again a few chapters later is just mind-blowing. Like I'm not even joking I was at the last 20 pages wondering how in the world she was going to wrap up this book. Like the way she can make you think everything is good and great and fine and then gives you the biggest plot twist at the last section of the book and still solve it without it seeming rushed is just fantastic. I am so excited to read her book Five Survive because her mind is just... wow. Like I would read anything by her, even the most boring sounding novel. Also, kind of unrelated but the covers of the book are so pretty, I didn't even realize that the cover was the duct tape from the book until I read the acknowledgements, like its so good. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK, IT'S AMAZING ESPECIALLY THE LAST ONE!!!!!!!
