This book is amazing! I started it because I have read all of AGGGTM. The author did not disappoint. The book starts out kind of slow, laying out all the background information. However it picks up with different plot twists all the way to the end. The last few pages were very creative in the way they present more of the story. I definitely would have never made the connections the way the author did at the end. I was so engrossed while reading this book that I cried like twice! This book is a 10/10 highly recommend it. I will probably reread this book in the next few years.

if a book is able to make me shocked by the plot twist and then proceed to make me SOB for the last 20 pages straight, it deserves a 5-star rating.

Very cool Concept, where the whole book happens in a few hours in one vehicle. I liked the plot twists so another win for Holly Jackson.
