wow, just wow. I want to say that it is all I've got to say but that doesn't do this book justice.

this is the first thriller/mystery book I've read. I've read 2 romance books before this to start my book journey. went to the bookstore to find a new one but there weren't any I wanted, say I just let my eyes float over the other books and it fell on this one. and thank the fucking lord it did. 
I did not only bawl my eyes out at the mystery that unraveled, and thought that was insanely good. but the way Holly Jackson writes is even more mind blowing. Red (main character (+no spoilers!)) was the centere of the book. so we followed her but that wasn't that we just followed her, no we FOLLOWED her. it was so realistic. 
in real live, when something big happens, something tense for example, you think about that but somehow you also have some stupid thoughts you shouldn't be thinking of at that moment. and you curse yourself for it, thinking you're selfish for not keeping your mind at what it should be at. Holly captured this PERFECT. never ever read anything like that and never thought I would (I know this is the third book I have read but still) it was too unique for words honestly.

READ IT.
