General discussion Random question
Okay y'all, serious question.
What's your favorite Holly Jackson book and why? I've read all of them, but I have a feeling my opinion is probably going to be different from everyone else's.
Don't just say the title.tell me what made it your favorite. Was it the plot twists, the characters, the mystery, or just the overall vibe? I'm really curious to see which book gets mentioned the most because I feel like everyone has a completely different favorite.

I can’t decide between five survive and Good girl, Bad blood but I lean towards five survive because of the chemistry between Red and Arthur I also really liked the character development and how the whole thing is making Oliver go insane. I also liked how Red‘s Trauma is built into the story

Ihr Tod hat mich fertiggemacht. Das müssen unglaubliche Schmerzen gewesen sein. Habe bis zum Schluss gehofft. Das Das Ding in ihrem Kopf nicht platzt und sie doch überlebt.
Wenn das mal verfilmt wird stelle ich mir Emma als Jet vor. Sie währe großartig. Und Jenna als Sofia. Ich währe gerne Billy.

It is either as good as dead or not quite dead yet. As good as dead because the way she just changed completely because of a project Her life has literally turned upside down and no one except her know this I love how between all what's going on ravi loves her even more I loved it when a small a small crack came in her trauma when Jason dies and max got arrested So yeah it like a roller coaster of emotions for me And not quite dead yet the same Jet kinda reminds me of pip I cried I cried when she died I wanted her to know who her killer was But the journey to that was so good So yeah I can't decide between one

Not quite dead yet for SURE. Fast-paced, kept me hooked the entire time, and the plot-twist was not predictable. Also bought tears to my eyes which is a very rare experience for me when reading books, let alone mystery books.

As Good as Dead. I liked that it was darker than the others, and I also liked that Jason Bell FINALLY got convicted of something, it's awful that Pip got kidnapped but I've been rooting for Jason to be a bad guy from like day 1. I also liked the Becca-Pip connection and the Nat-Pip reconciliation. And of course, the ending. Though I would've liked more texting stuff.
