As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson
4.0
adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I felt like this was such a death to Pip’s character, I found myself getting so angry with her for the choices she made, and all the fallout that it caused. I still enjoyed the book, but it just felt so extreme how she started to behave. I know there was significant trauma and now the substance use, but it felt like too much of a departure from her character. 

With that said I do think the story lines up well, and the plot itself felt well thought out.
