Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson 🧠

In seven days, Jet Mason will be dead.

Jet is the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in Woodstock, Vermont. Twenty-seven years old and back home, she’s still waiting for her life to begin. I’ll do it later, she always says. She has time.

Until Halloween night, when she is violently attacked by an unseen intruder, suffering a catastrophic head injury. Doctors are certain that within a week, the injury will trigger a fatal aneurysm. To her parents’ dismay, Jet rejects an extremely risky operation in order to guarantee herself at least a few more days.

Jet never thought of herself as having enemies. But now, in the one week she has left, she looks at everyone in a new her family, her former best friend turned sister-in-law, her ex-boyfriend.

As her condition deteriorates, she reconnects with her childhood friend Billy, the only one willing to help her. With Billy at her side, she’s absolutely determined to finally finish

Jet is going to solve her own murder.

Y'all, my mind is blown...just like Jet's 😂😅 Sorry Jet, but I know you'd appreciate the sentiment!

First things first, even though we all knew it was coming, that ending still made me emotional. When the letters showed up, I almost freaking cried.

JET WE LOVE YOU OKAY???

Moving on, the mystery was well executed. While I did have several theories, only one of them turned out to be true; the whole reveal was still shocking enough for me. The pacing is just right because you get tiny bits of info at the right time to nudge your brain activity - like that hammer nudged Jet's 😂😂 I'm gonna stop with the puns, I promise...

Now that I mentioned the puns, the way Jet handled this terrible situation was hilarious! I appreciated her humor, and while some people might find it annoying or over-the-top, I totally get it. I'm also the type of person who has to make everything a joke as a coping mechanism. Reality is sometimes too dark and too serious. Also, the way she slowly started to deteriorate because of her injuries was so terrifying and realistic. I wanted to hug her so much ♥

Trying to pick a favorite character was a no-brainer (just like Jet 😂 that's the last one I SWEAR) -Billy. That guy is such a walking green flag. His relationship with Jet was a wonderful thing to witness, and it just made me even sadder when that ending dropped.
