Description:

In seven days Jet Mason will be dead.
Twenty-seven years old, she’s back living with her parents, waiting for her life to begin. She’ll do it later, she always says. Her parents have their doubts.
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 may only have seven days – if she even makes it that long – but Jet is absolutely determined to finally prove her doubters wrong.
Jet is going to solve her own murder.

Comments from BDS Reviewers:
A really good murder mystery book that is different to most, as the main character is trying to solve her own murder, as she has only a week to live after an attack. It also uncovers other serious events that are unrelated to the attack.
Fast moving story with lots of twists and turns, unravelling family secrets and relationships. Jet is a woman driven by past failures to stick with her course at all costs.
Despite some slightly implausible situations and outcomes, you find yourself overlooking it and rooting for the main character to succeed.
This is a unique concept for a thriller/murder mystery, and I didn't see the plot twist at the end coming. It's set in a small town with plenty of family drama and dysfuntional relationships and buried secrets from years ago that get revealed throughout the book.
This book was super popular this year on Goodreads and I can see why! The plot twists were great, they really kept you on edge.
It was a really enjoyable read. i liked it more than I expected to, and the ending left me with a few tears in my eyes.
Fun references to Noah Kahn the music artist: a little bit of romance but it didn't take over from the main storyline. Easy and enjoyable to read. The ending affected me more than I expected it to.
