Dark, twisty and emotional, full of suspense, This book hooked me in right from the beginning to the end, I had my suspicions on who the killer might be, kept changing my choices till it was over.

📚 Title: Not Quite Dead Yet ✍️ Author: Holly Jackson (@hojay92) 🗂️ Genre: Crime, Thriller, Mystery ❤️ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really enjoyed this one, it took a little while to get up to speed but once it got going it was a real page turner with enough twisting and turning to keep me guessing until (nearly) the end. The story revolves about Jet, the daughter of a wealthy couple, who is brutally attacked and left with a condition that will kill her in just a few days. Given an impossible choice, Jet embarks on a journey to try to solve her own murder before her time runs out. The premise is a really cool one, it forces a sense of urgency and impending peril that is maintained from start to end. Because Jet is on such a tight timeframe, the story unfolds at a breakneck pace, almost feeling at times like its happening in real time. The past of the small collection of main characters becomes more and more intertwined, with more layers of the story being peeled away as Jet's time slowly runs out. I think this would make a great holiday read for the summer.

Daughter loved this book

This is the first book I have read by the author. I found myself intrigued by the storyline but never got to liking the main character - Jet. She was childish and selfish and just an overall unlikeable character. The other characters felt somewhat undeveloped and weak. The story itself was good if rather unbelievable. A decent enough read for the price I paid.

Someone tries to kill Jet in a vicious attack. In 7 days, she will die from her injuries. The story is her race against time to solve who did this to her. So many lies are exposed as Jet unearths one secret after another! It is a rollercoaster of a story, action packed, with lots of twists and turns. Would recommend.

Jet is entirely engaging, and swears a lot, and one can't help feeling for her throughout this story. Inevitably, it has a really sad ending, but oh, what a joy to read.

The most amazing book ever!

Well written, good story, ok characters. Worth a read, not sure why it won the goodreads award for 2025 I think in the thriller category or something but I read better thrillers this year so I don’t agree with that.

Without talking about the story itself, the book is in great condition. The book is bigger compared to all of the other Holly Jackson books, but that might be because I bought the hardcover version.

Otroligt bra bok och kom i fint skick

As someone who lives and breathes thrillers, Not Quite Dead Yet instantly called out to me especially being a huge fan of Holly Jackson. Her books never fail to blend mystery, emotion, and strong female leads in the most addictive way and this book was no exception. This one hit different. It wasn't just a mystery. It was personal, emotional, and quietly powerful in a way I didn't see coming. Plot: Jet Mason has seven days to live. After a brutal Halloween night attack leaves her with a fatal brain injury, doctors tellher she has less than a week before an aneurysm ends her life. Suddenly, her "later" has a deadline. Jet's spent years putting things off - now, she's racing against time to uncover who wanted her dead... before it actually happens. With only her childhood friend Billy by her side, Jet sets out to solve her own murder and maybe even live for real, one last time. What I loved: This book was an emotional slow burn in the most beautiful way. fell for Jet's voice - clever, raw, and unflinchingly honest. It wasn't just about finding out who hurt her; it was about uncovering how much of her own life Jet had kept at arm's length. There's a quiet tragedy in how we all assume we have more time to say things, to make amends, to figure ourselves out. Watching Jet fight through her grief, fear, and regrets while the clock ticked made the mystery even more powerful. And yet, despite the heavy themes, there were moments of humor, tenderness, and warmth. Her bond with Billy gave the story so much heart. And the writing? Just Wow! I didn't realize I was crying until I actually turned the last page. So, If you love stories with mystery and heart, this one's for you. It'll make you cry, think, and hug your favorite people a little tighter.

Ich finde alle Bücher von Holly Jackson super, auch dieses Buch hat wieder mit Spannung und verschiedenen Wendungen überzeugen können. Ich habe bis zum Ende mitgefiebert und meine eigenen Theorien aufgestellt. Ich liebe den Schreibstil auf Englisch und würde sagen, dass die Bücher super sind für Leute die gerne mal ein Englisches Buch lesen möchten. Medizinische Fachbegriffe müssen eventuell gegoogelt werden aber ansonsten ist es relativ verständlich geschrieben.

Excellent quality for the price... Bought it for my sister's friend and the quality of the hardcover convinced me to buy one for myself in the future (neverending tbr 😂) Hopefully the story is a good as it looks.
