Not Quite Dead Yet
von Holly Jackson
After she is fatally wounded in an assault, a young woman uses her last few days to try to solve her own murder, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. Margaret "Jet" Mason has never been able to finish anything. In her twenty-seven years, she's dropped out of school, quit a promising career, and dumped all her boyfriends. Her town's annual Halloween festival is a pageant of the familiar faces of friends and family, each a reminder of her failure to launch, made more surreal by the ghoulish costumes everyone's wearing. But no matter—she's about to leave this town behind and get her fresh start somewhere else. Like with everything else, she quits the party and heads home. But as she walks in her front door, someone attacks her from behind, fracturing her skull—and leaves her for dead. Thirty-six hours later, she wakes up in the hospital to grim news: The attack has left a small bone fragment that's putting pressure on her brain's arterial wall. The doctors tell her that a large aneurysm will soon form, and when it ruptures, the hemorrhage will be fatal. Jet has two choices: Undergo immediate surgery to remove the bone fragment, with less than a ten percent chance of survival. Or don't, and die sometime in the coming week. With the odds stacked against her and death a foregone conclusion, Jet knows what she has to do. She has never finished anything in her life . . . until now. With her last remaining week, she’s going to find out who murdered her.

Rezension von Ali GattoThis is such a great beach read for those who like more than just a meaningless "beach read". I honestly don't love all the cheesy romances with no substance but this had themes of grief, healing, and complicated relationships that made the cozy beach vibes and loving family dynamics that much better.
Rezension von Angelina StockEs war wieder sehr spannend und man konnte wieder sehr mitfiebern!
Rezension von Lisa lesajournalI have pretty mixed feelings about Not Quite Dead Yet. What kept me reading was definitely the mystery. I enjoyed trying to piece the clues together alongside Jet, and the setting created a great atmosphere. My favourite part, though, was the family drama and the way trauma shaped the characters and their relationships. I also really liked the medical aspect of the story and how Jet’s condition influenced the way she saw the world and approached the investigation. That said, there were a few things that didn’t work for me. The romance-driven sidekick felt unnecessary and often pulled my attention away from the parts of the story I was actually invested in. I also struggled with the fact that Jet was essentially an amateur investigator, which made some of the speculative leads feel a little less believable. And while I was deeply invested in Jet as a character, I was left feeling that parts of her personal journey remained unresolved. Overall, I enjoyed the mystery, the family dynamics, and the emotional weight of Jet’s story, but some of the narrative choices kept me from loving it as much as I wanted to.
Rezension von EnyaICH LIEBE HOLLY JACKSON!! Es war einfach every bit the thriller I hoped it would be
Rezension von AndreaDas Buch gefiel mir am Besten von dieser Autorin. Ich gebe zu am Ende musste ich ein bisschen weinen 😭. Es hat mich zerstört das sie und Billy ihr happy end nicht hatten!! Auch die Storie war echt gut überlegt. Es war wirklich spannend bis zur letzten Seite.
