I loved A Good Girl's Guide to Murder so I was excited to read another book by Holly Jackson, but this one just fell flat for me. Almost all the characters are annoying, which I get Oliver is supposed to be unlikeable, but he was painfully annoying. Most of the story felt very repetitive and drawn out.

I actually really liked this book and hearing Anisa's stream of consciousness. I really recommend listening to the audiobook. The only reason why it's not a 4 star for me is because the ending was a bit anticlimactic.
