Not Quite Dead Yet | 
pickJackson‘s adult thriller debut is solidly entertaining with an engaging hook, a tight timeline & a unique angle. At 27, Jet isn‘t as far in life as she expected to be… living back at home with her parents with a catchphrase of doing everything “later”. This arrested development abruptly comes to a change on Halloween when she‘s attacked in their kitchen & given a week to live. So she sets out, with her childhood friend, to solver her own murder!
pickWell, that was intense. Maybe a little more so, because my husband has a very similar brain issue. I kinda wish I knew before I picked it up. I might have avoided this one, but once I was in it was too late to stop, so I just finished it. Solving your own murder before you die is a very clever premise.
Reading the new Holly Jackson for my first book of August. I think this is her adult debut?
Rumpel wanted me to tell everyone that she thinks this might be one of her favorite thrillers of the year so far! 💕📚 The story is so unique and we can't put it down! #catsoflitsy #rumpel
HOLLY JACKSON'S ADULT DEBUT IS OUT TODAY! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I really love her young adult books, so I'm really excited for this one!
pickJet was murdered--but she's not quite dead yet. With only days to live after a brutal assualt fractured her skull, Jet is determined to find who killed her. Whew this book was a wild ride. It took me a minute to warm up to Jet who is a bit of a privileged asshole, but I also realized eventually that I was only seeing Jet as her dying self, someone who didn't need to worry about consequences. This was a truly unique premise that worked so well!
pickIt had its suspense and twists. I felt like the FMC was written younger than she was said to be. I think it would have worked better as a YA novel. Still a pick. Just lower.
so-soThis book was definitely suspenseful. I think had this been a YA book I would have loved it more. It was jarring to be reminded that Jet was 27 years old. In no way did she act like someone in her late 20s. I loved the premise though.
I was provided an advanced copy of this book which did not affect my review.
