My fav book of the series, it jumped right up to my top favs.
This book was such a roller coaster of emotions. I even ended up crying in the middle.

I loved part 1! I had lots of OMG moments at some reveals and twists and turns. I wish loved part two as much but I didn't, it was good and not great in my opinion. Still a bloody brilliant trilogy.

This book is super good. 

I love the main characters, especially Pip. She’s super independent and smart, and really, really cares about the people she loves.

This book was just crazy. Especially the second half of the book. The AGGGTM title fits perfectly to the storyline and honestly it was such a rollercoaster. I can't believe the ending though, that hurt a lot, but it was such an amazing story. This is definitely my favourite book in the series

Amazing book. Everyone kept telling me it was the best in the series, and I see why. At first I was skeptical because it was going so slow but around 20% it started picking up pace. Read this book in 4 days, which is super fast for me. Once I got past the first 20% of the book, I couldn’t put it down. There were definitely some scenes that made me want to throw up, so make sure to look at trigger warnings before picking this book up. I’d say I’m satisfied with this ending to the series.
