---

Jet wants to accomplish something big in her life, for herself and to please her parents. She tells herself she has time. Until an event occurs that defines the rest of her short life.

Holly Jackson writes chapters that made me want to know who and why. I kept turning the pages. Her characters are diverse and unique enough that I knew who was who. 

In the end, this book was good. I’ll probably remember the premise plus Jet and her letters, but not other details. Our book club had an interesting discussion about the characters and plot and what we would do differently than Jet, Sophia, Luke, and Jack. If you like thrillers, mysteries, or true crime you’ll probably like this one.
