Holly Jackson is one of my favourite authors, I love her writing style and how you can always feel her stories have been meticulously planned out. This book is absolutely serviceable and a solid read, however I just found it to be bland. It felt very telegraphed, I knew what the reveal(s) were going to be from a long way out and so that made the whole middle portion of the book feel very long and drawn out. It's a strange one because a lot happens in here but it also feels like hardly anything happens. I think it could have benefited from some tightened up and shaving fifty to a hundred pages off of its four hundred and forty eight page count.
