As a fan of ‘ A good girls guide to murder’ I have been reading this book also by Holly Jackson. And its the most unique plot ever.

Blurb
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, she’s still waiting for her life to begin. She’ll do it later, she always says. She has time.

Until, on the night of Halloween, Jet is violently attacked by an unseen intruder.

She suffers a catastrophic brain injury. The doctor is certain that within a week, she’ll suffer a deadly aneurysm.

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

She only has seven days, and as her condition deteriorates she has only her childhood friend Billy for help. But nevertheless, she’s absolutely determined to finally finish something:

Jet is going to solve her own murder.

About the author
Holly Jackson started writing stories from a young age, completing her first (poor) attempt at a novel aged fifteen. She lives in London and aside from reading and writing, she enjoys playing video games and watching true crime documentaries so she can pretend to be a detective. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is her first novel. You can follow Holly on Twitter and Instagram @HoJay92

My Review I love the easy reading/ writing style. The relatable characters and the urgency you feel alongside Jet to discover who the murderer is before she dies. . . We have suspicions on everyone even family!! And drag out dark secrets that the folks of the town harbour. We race to find clues before each body part of Jets is failing and more attempts on her life are taken. Its gripping, heartbreaking and emotional to read. But pure escapism for me which I thoroughly enjoyed.
