Alex Michaelides, New York and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient
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
Amy McCulloch, author of Breathless and Runner 13
