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 Mia 10/10, would not recommend. unless you also want to be emotionally DESTROYED after this. it's so beautifully written but also so sad
Rezension von AlinaIch bin total begeistert. Sehr spannend . Räsetlhaft. Und eine Wendung nach der andere . Besondere Charaktere. Die Entwicklung von billie und Jet habe ich geliebt. Ich kann nur 5 Sterne geben.
Rezension von Lesefliegedas war mein erstes Buch was ich auf Englisch gelesen habe und es war sooo tol, ich j könnte mich so gut in diese Welt von Jet rein versetzen, das Ende hat mich etwas auseinander genommen 😅😭😭
Rezension von HannahOmg wtf ich heule.. Okay das Ende hat mich absolut auseinander genommen, ich sitze hier gerade auf einer liege am Pool und werde komisch von den Leuten neben mir angeguckt, aber wenn die dieses Buch gelesen hätten DANN WÜRDEN SIE DAS VERSTEHEN! Aber abgesehen davon, fand ich es voollllllll unsatisfying (ACHTUNG SPOILER) , dass Jet nie gewusst hat, wer ihr Mörder war. Man hätte das halt auch nd erraten können, es gab so viele Hinweise, aber keinen einzigen auf den eigentlichen Mörder. Wäre das anders gewesen, hätte ich glaube ich auch eine höhere Bewertung gegeben. Das Buch selbst (bis auf die letzen Seiten), war nämlich richtig gut, und man konnte sehr gut mitraten. Aber mein favourite Holly Jackson Buch wird das nicht. Würde das Buch aber trzdm empfehlen.😘😘
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.
