pre-review from book announcement: IM SO EXCITED�.and the cover??? yum???
review:
uhmm I'm very disappointed 😭 I'm starting to think agggtm may of been a one hit wonder??
the premise of the book was really intriguing, but the way jackson went about it just wasn't interesting to me sadly. the book was reallyyyy slow and kinda boring for the most part. the whole like first 70% felt like filler or something. there was just a lot of parts that didn't feel needed at all!! it just kinda dragged on forever, like there was no action just the main character having little inklings and finding little clues yk? coulda cut a hundred pages or smt
the main character also sucked!! she was a bitch the whole book for no reason at all. why should i care if she gets murdered?? shes a asshole. i HOPE she gets murdered. it was as if she had no brain too. like in the beginning shes like "why is rachel back so suspicious" and its not suspisous at all. then she yk starts finding hints and I'm like most of these arent suspicious and shes making it seem like she just found out rachel murdered her dog yesterday. later things do get suspisous and I'm like okkkk yeah i get it now then bel is like "actually yk what! rachel didnt do anything" after (view spoiler) likeeee ur believing this bullshit after u were playing detective?
honestly didnt like any of the characters but ASH and he was hardly in this damn book. lets talk about (view spoiler)
the writing was okay. tell me why she had these characters say a bunch of cringe stuff and there was a bunch of unneeded swearing like chill......buddy. a few examples are; when ash gave bel a thumbs up and she thought "he could shove those fingers up his-" stop being edgy!!! or "come to justice, is that what he says to his wife in bed?" shut up!!!!!!!!!! i don't gaf stop acting like a 5th grader 😭 shes literally 18, shes acting the way i acted in 5th grade when i learned what swearing was...
the plot twist wasssss mid!!!!!!! i guessed it, you guessed it, we all guessed it right? just kidding, but srsly so predictable!! and it didn't seem to be very realistic to me but whatever i guess. the whole 370 pages of like basically filler was not worth this plot twist. the action only starts when you were like 75% in, and even then it wasn't entertaining i was just thinking "oh."
THE ENDING........sucked(view spoiler)
anyway I'm so disappointed!!!!!!! jacksons new books since agggtm have not been hitting its devastating... this was my most anticipated read and now its my most let down..

Girl........... tell me you have no basic understanding of character motivation without telling me. Read between the lines, it's really not hard and almost explicitly hits you over the head with the fact that despite Bel putting up a front and acting like a bitch, it is a defense mechanism and she's got serious abandonment issues + trust issues. She's unpleasant on purpose to keep people at arms length.
She gets hung up on lies, on details, because she always expects people to lie or disappoint her. The whole reason she switched up is because that gut feeling of something being off was gone.

im aware of her abandonment issues n shit she talks abt it every page girl. idgaf!! shes a annoying bitch and i dont wanna read abt her. jus cuz u liked the book doesnt mean im dumb cuz i dont like it cuz of its flaws. chill dont get angy 🐺
a girl can have abandonment\trust issues without acting like a bitch to everyone around her😭you can write a character like that without using shitty writing
i loved your review on this omg you typed exactly what i was feeling about this book
