I just finished this book and I’m convinced holly jackson has a power to just make us stare at a wall for like 20 minutes after finishing books because I did the same when I finished as good as dead , but omg it was so addictive and is definitely worth a read . Enjoy x 
⚠️spoiler ⚠️* If Oliver hadn’t died I would have killed him myself I HATED him ⚠️spoiler ⚠️

4.5

     I really enjoyed this book! It was twisty and dark. It also kept you guessing. I saw a few things coming, like one of the twists but not the others. 
     I knew what Oliver's secret was because of Oliver. He was just evil, soulless, and totally unlikable.       The rest of the characters were fairly likable. Though Simon was iffy on the likable scale. 
     

Spoiler

I'm so relieved that Oliver was the one to die! He's the one who I hoped would be the only one not to survive because he was an evil jackass, and clearly a sociopath like his mother.

 
    I cried at the end but still liked the ending. It was a very emotional book with lots of grief and guilt.
