I enjoyed the plot twist but there were too many events post the plot reveal, which ruined the pacing at the end

I loved this book so much, it’s by far my new favourite book. The plot twist shocked me for once as usually I can’t tell what the plot twists are, this book was refreshing for me. There was lots of character development, and the further I read the more I couldn’t put the book down. I definitely will reread this book.

I couldn't put this down. There's quite a bit of suspension of disbelief, especially in the resolution, but it's a wild ride. I liked Bel and how prickly she was; a bit different than the typically YA protagonist. The framing of the documentary was also an interesting angle and led to some unique situations. I love Holly Jackson and will read everything she writes!

I also liked the use of a late night McDonalds trip as a little nod to As Good as Dead.
