I was not expecting the little twist that came with Alexander’s surprise entrance however it allowed Jack to have his own growth and healing from past betrayals, just as Ava had. And seeing Gen and Pilot Paul’s evolution, although not as majorly documented, was adorable.
Overall a short and sweet read.

Jackson also provides a deeper look into the dynamics of her friendship group and Jamie and Connor’s sibling relationships which was both informative and fun. Definitely would recommend reading this book after the other three, despite the fact that it’s timeline precedes the first book. It allows for a better understanding of who the characters are and makes it a lot more fun seeing the little details of their interactions and behaviours.

We have some insight into their family history, specifically their father’s character and how it affected who they are today. And the general jealousy is outlined in Korede being the less “attractive” sibling and having to deal with the fact that her crush has fallen for her sister, who will inevitably try to kill him.
Despite being a mystery/thriller, there truly wasn’t much mystery or suspense. Korede’s confessional interactions with her favourite patient were probably my favourite part and they weren’t really a major plot point.

I have nothing to say other than the fact that Pip has got to be the busiest 18 year old I know and small towns hold the biggest secrets.

This story started with young academic Pippa who had a love for learning, a love for true crime and ultimately a love for truth. We see her as she tries to unearth the mysterious disappearance of Andie Bell and attempt to prove Sal Singh’s innocence, with help from Sal’s younger brother Ravi.
I would have loved to see more about Pippa’s personal life and have more on certain characters like Ravi or the Ward family but overall I really enjoyed the partners-in-crime dynamic between Pippa and Ravi and looked forward to every interaction between them.
This book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me shake with anxiety. But it also made me have hope. Have hope in Pippa and Ravi and, above all, have hope in Sal.

She certainly did not disappoint as this book took me on the same emotional rollercoaster as the film. With slight deviations, Dead Poets Society drew me into life as a young man at Welton Academy under the tutelage of Mr Keating. I celebrated their triumphs and cried at the sorrows and fell in love with their friendship.
“O Captain! My Captain!”, I hope to “gather [my] rosebuds while [I] may,” and make my life extraordinary!
