3.0

This book will give you the opportunity to delve deeper into the intricacies of its culture and the psyche of its people. This was very reflective, it really makes you think about women (muslim women specifically), religion, and what does it mean to be a believer, a non-believer or in-between.

The rating is “low” due to it being slow and unengaging in some parts. (And the title of this book is kind of misleading, since the book only focuses on one of the “daughters”).

I’ve been screaming, laughing, gasping and going through all the emotions for the last 3 chapters of this book, this ending was……..

If you’re a fan of SAW (The movie franchise), escape rooms, and gore this is the book for you! The moment they arrived at the house I was hooked. Now I need more books about puzzles and escape rooms.

Holly Jackson, you fucking genius.

This ending was perfect for this trilogy!

This one was my favorite in the series, it was morally ambiguous and Pip's character development was portrayed very well. I can't believe this is the last book in this series, Goodbye Team Ravi and Pip:').

I have so much to say and nothing at all. This was heart-wrenching and cute, I loved and hated it so much, Casey you did it again this was amazing.

And, Casey can we please get a book about Myla & Niko? (I’ll settle for a novella PLEASE)
