Not Quite Dead Yet follows Jet Mason, a 27-year-old from a wealthy Vermont family, who suffers a brutal attack on Halloween night leaving her with a fatal brain injury and just seven days to live before an inevitable aneurysm. Refusing risky surgery, she teams up with childhood friend Billy to investigate her would-be killer, scrutinizing her family, exes, and town amid deteriorating health and mounting suspicions. As buried secrets emerge in her idyllic community, Jet races to uncover the truth, confront her regrets, and seize purpose in her final days without revealing the mystery's resolution.

Jamie’s review

THIS is a page turner, holy shit. I could not put this down. Jet is 27 and is attacked in her home one night. She wakes up and finds out she has one week before a brain aneurysm will rupture and surgery only has 10% survival odds. She decides to live out the week and solve her own murder, with the help of her childhood friend Billy.

Is it realistic that Jet can endure a traumatic brain injury and still run around town playing detective? No. Did I foresee who the murderer was before the end? Yes. HOWEVER, the twists and turns are so good and keep you guessing the whole time. Also, I love Jet, Billy, and Reggie the dog ❤️

Even though there were some loose ends and unrealistic plot elements, I had so much fun reading this.
