This was a very fun read.
The writing is very easy to digest and you can fly through it. I particularly liked Red's narration. She would have the same thoughts cycle through her head over and over again. And it was interesting, I liked it.
This book will keep you at the edge of your seat, desperate to know what comes next.
There were many plot twists, specially at the end. They're very Holly Jackson-y, you know? You can tell this book was written by the same author who wrote AGGGTM.In the last book, Pip does the unthinkable: she kills someone. She kills someone! That was so unexpected and insane!!!! You would never think that's how the story was going to end for her.
In this book, Red is shot and you're led to believe that she died. Fortunately, she didn't. But it's the kind of crazy ending that she gives to her main characters.
In the AGGGTM series, the book ends with an open ending. If I remember correctly, you never know whether Ravi contacted Pip again or not. In this one, you don't know if Red decided to meet with Author.
Man, that's so frustrating!!!!!!!! I don't want an open ending!!!!!!!!!.
This was a fun, well structured book, but it wasn't a memorable one. Hence the 3 star rating. This is a book you can pick up if you want a quick read that will keep you entertained.
