Okay, I will admit, that at the start of the book I felt really uneasy with the direction the story looked like it was going in. I could kind of tell what was in store for our beloved Pip. And I won't lie; I do feel a little upset that her character went from someone that a lot of people admired and looked up to, to a character with a such grey-area morality. Like do we still love her? Do we still support her? I DONT KNOW!!
It's tricky and I STILL don't really know how I feel about it.

But from looking at an entertainment point of view, this book had me in a chokehold. The first half was a little slow going and didn't really have me majorly hooked, but after the climatic moment halfway through, I just couldn't put the book down. I just HAD to know how it all played out. And in my opinion, for me, that's a good book. Something that can keep me wanting more and more; those are the books that I love.
I LOVED how all the stories from all three books came together at the end. IMO, Holly Jackson is so clever and I love how her mind works.

But my goodness. Ravi... sweet, sweet Ravi. He deserved so much more, and so much better. So loving, so loyal. He is a 10/10 character. He deserved so many hugs. What a great guy.

Overall, I really enjoyed this last book in the series. It took me on such a rollercoaster of emotions and I honestly, truly can’t wait for Holly Jackson to bless us with more novels to devour.
