Really enjoyed the audiobook version. I wonder if Holly meant for the story to always go this way or if she picked up the loose threads from the previous book to weave here. Either way, it was nicely done. I have to be honest, I didn’t quite like

the idea of Stanley redemption arc, but his death scene was so emotional that I have to look past my own pet peeves.

Throughout we are accompanying Pip as she deals with grief and trauma, which I liked, but it definitely lends for a slower pace than other books of the genre so maybe be aware that this might get a little introspective.
I have nothing else to say except it’s past midnight on a school night and I’m still going to start the next one because I need to see how my girl is faring.
