Get ready for the unmissable new thriller from the #1 internationally bestselling author of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

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.

Kritikerstimmen

A propulsive plot, where the pathos is fuel for real suspense, makes this perfect holiday fare - a genuine page-turner
Suspenseful and compelling… [Jackson’s] sprightliness and pacing sustain the reader’s interest. The revelations come in a flood. Liberated into newfound bravery by her impending demise, Jet makes a winning, wisecracking heroine
This truly unique premise snowballs into a roller coaster ride of page-turning suspense and knock-out twists!
The queen of YA effortlessly conquers a whole new realm with her first adult novel. Propulsive, unputdownable and unexpectedly heart wrenching, Not Quite Dead Yet is a masterclass in thriller writing and an example of storytelling at its finest
I felt all the emotions while reading Not Quite Dead Yet. It’s funny, touching, heartbreaking, thrilling and totally addictive. An original and unique thriller that I’ll be thinking about for a long time (Claire Douglas)
I absolutely loved it: twisty, edgy, and with her trademark voice. It deserves to fly (Gillian McAllister)
Not Quite Dead Yet is everything I love about Holly Jackson’s novels dialled up to eleven — a searingly clever premise, of course absolutely unputdownable, interspersed with her trademark humour, and with a protagonist in Jet that you can’t help rooting for. An instant classic
Fiercely original, wickedly clever, and so damn fun, Not Quite Dead Yet is a wild ride with a heroine you can't help but root for. It had me snickering, gasping, and flying through the chapters until the final page
A thrilling, twisting, heartbreaker. Holly Jackson’s adult debut is fresh, fun and impossible to put down
With all the pizzazz, poignancy, humour and ingenious plotting of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, Not Quite Dead Yet sees Jackson graduating from YA fiction with distinction and aplomb (John Dugdale)

I really enjoyed the story of a more grown up version of Jackson’s characters, still I agree with the comments criticising the narrator’s choice of making up voices.

Grown-ish story with typical Holly Jackson atmosphere

I just finished listening to Not Quite Dead by Holly Jackson, and I’m still sitting with how it made me feel.

It started off a bit slow for me and had a slightly teenage vibe at first, which made me wonder where it was heading. But then it really pulled me in. As the story unfolded, the emotional depth caught me off guard.

What truly stood out was the character development of the main character. Over time, I found myself genuinely connecting with them - understanding their motivations, flaws, and growth. That connection made the later parts of the story hit much harder.

By the end, I was left with a strange but powerful mix of sadness and satisfaction. It’s one of those stories that lingers after you finish it.

Definitely worth the read (or listen).

Unexpectedly Emotional and Completely Worth It

I really enjoyed this story, but the narrator was just not for me AT ALL.

I ended up buying the physical book halfway through listening to this, because the narration was making me despise all the characters. The way the narrator did their voices made them all sound like chain-smoking cartoon characters to me and I just couldn't deal with it any longer😭

Great book, awful narrator

Not impressed, not by the story, characters or voice. I didn't like the main character (Margaret), her mother or any other.

Meh

I loved the offset of the story to have someone still alive investigating their own murder. and... I cried a lot but i loved every second and kudos to the narrator for making this read awesome!

the whirlwind of emotion
