This book was so much more emotional than I thought at the beginning. Those scenes were also written with a harrowingly realistic feeling. I could feel Red's pain almost like it was mine.
The ending DIDN'T dissapoint me which I find super rare. Also it kept picking up speed so well that I couldn't put it down on my third sitting.

I liked the characters (some of them anyway) and it’s a shame (spoiler) Red and Arthur didn’t get to be together. Or maybe they did - who knows? We don’t really find out.
Either way, it was a pretty intense book - there was more death than I expected considering it’s a ya thriller. I didn’t mind tho. I liked the writing - not my favourite style ever, but I might read more of Holly’s books someday :) would recommend.

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.
