Holly Jackson

Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson is a thriller centered on Jet Mason, a 27-year-old woman from a wealthy, dysfunctional family in Woodstock, Vermont, who suffers a brutal attack on Halloween night that leaves her with a shattered skull and a grim prognosis: she has only seven days to live due to an impending brain aneurysm. Instead of undergoing risky surgery, Jet decides to spend her final days solving the mystery of who tried to kill her. The novel combines a high-stakes murder investigation with a deeply personal exploration of family secrets, trauma, and Jet's complex relationships, all delivered through her sharp, often sarcastic voice. Jackson's debut adult fiction novel blends suspense, emotional depth, and dark humor to create a poignant story about redemption, resilience, and the search for truth under extraordinary pressure
