shereadytoread 's review for:

As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson
3.75
mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated

I thought the first half of the book was setting up for the strongest of the series, but the second half of the book seemed so implausible that it almost ruined it. Overall it was still a really interesting story and it was well written, I just was not a fan of "the twist". It did wrap up some loose ends that fans of the trilogy will appreciate. 

Pros: 
- Pip continues to be a strong and capable MC while still being flawed
- Realistic rep of struggles dealing with trauma 
- Interesting case 

Cons: 
- The wrap up was so specific and "perfect" that it just seemed unrealistic 
-
