5.0
Red and her lack of trust in her own memory makes for very interesting narration.
Holly Jackson has a wonderfully immersion way of telling a story. I didn't want to put the book down.
Red's healing moment as she's on the brink of death ending with "...but mom stayed with her, right here in her hand. At the end of all things, mom stayed and so did the stars." had tears rolling down my cheeks.
Having the woman who stood in to be a mom to Red be the person who killed her mom is somewhat expected, but the twist was very well done in this book.
Overall, this is a fantastic book with terrifyingly round characters, fun tropes, and fun twists on tropes.
