3.5

A solid installment to the series. I love Pip & Ravi. Certain parts of this book felt overly melodramatic which took me out of it slightly. The ending came out of left field(!) and I didn't love it. This book didn't have the same emotional impact on me as the first book in this series.

4.75

This was a crazy read compared to AGGGTM. Still just as good, but had a lot more turns + twists that I just wasn’t prepared for or expecting. I would have put a 5 star rating, but don’t let that fool you…I literally only put 4.75 because the beginning of the book felt slow for me. But as I continued reading, it truly picked up + made me question everything.

i will not be leaving a public review for this book or any of holly jackson’s books (if i decide to finish this series), as she works with an israeli publisher & hired an israeli actress for her show adaptation of aggtm. for more information: https://x.com/paedynsgf/status/1825836303684087823?s=46&t=9OvIYdlyuT0qXkMrWFaSaA

to anyone i know who has read these books and liked them: please don’t feel as though i am shaming you. this is purely a personal choice on my end. this information is not widely known, so please do not feel ashamed.
