Everyone in this book made me so mad. I genuinely did not like any of them. Although, I do admire how well Holly Jackson used this to her advantage in crafting a story that challenges the innate selfishness of humankind. 

It also made me think of 'Midnight' doctor who, which is my favourite episode. So that's a plus.

Overall, not as good as Jackson's other books. But still an enjoyable, engaging, and captivating read.

This was so tense, I was holding my breath in the last few chapters! At first, I had a hard time likikg the characters, they were all kind of annoying. I did see some of the twists coming but it was so good, I really enjoyed all the reveals!

easy five stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

the plot twist, the way the characters were all connected, the sprinkle of romance, and the betrayal all made for an amazing YA thriller! i love that even though holly jackson’s books are YA, it doesn’t have that immature feeling some YA books have! these characters were complex and have so much depth!! i can’t wait to read jackson’s next book!

I absolutely loved the ending. It was so satisfying seeing everything be revealed and the way everything ended up working out. I hated Oliver so much though and I was hoping he would die the whole time while reading this book.
