This book I have no words. The ending the twists, the main characters. Holly Jackson has done it again, leaving me staring at the wall after finishing her book, I'm in shock. Although i have never wanted to punch a character more Oliver Lavoy irritated the fuck out of me which I think was the intention. Red and Arthur had me screaming/pos. Anyway good book.
