    I honestly love how there was romance in this, but not too much as it wasn’t what the book was about. A kiss at the end and some flirting during investigating, nothing more and they only start dating next book! It’s so amazing how you write so well Holly!

    I actually don't know what to say about this book. I'm speechless. It was the most magnificent story I have ever read in my life. It's my favorite book now. I can't find a single flaw in the book, it's just amazing, there wasn't a single chapter that felt boring. It has a lot of action and mystery. Sometimes I even forgot I wasn't in the book with the characters. They aren't just words written on a paper, Holly Jackson managed to take us into the world of Pip, and into the life of Andie. It doesn't have an expected ending, I had a feeling that Becca would be involved but I just didn't want to believe it, I thought she couldn't have done it, after all, she was her sister, but it just drove us into an amazing ending. And the fact that there are two killers makes the story incredible and unpredictable. I can't stop admiring the book, everything is so amazing, it made me love reading even more. If I were a writer, I think I wouldn't have managed to write such an incredible book. Words can't describe my love for the book. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is an exceptional book, filled with action, mystery, and murder. It's truly amazing. I would recommend this book to everyone. Anything less than five stars would be wrong because it actually deserves it.

The climax took an unexpected turn with 2 killers and both of them being that i would have never imagined. My suspect list went really long including max, stanley , the police office and his sister even the drug dealer but never thought of becca or Ellitot Ward.

    Currently I am reading As good as dead and this novel is also rocking so far. I am almost in love with the perfect spookiness of Little Kilton.. And it's secrets. And Holly Jackson is a wonderful author. I will read everything she pens down.

    @simranbansal9303 Рік тому

    an honest book review: I think this book is definitely above average. I loved the reverse murder mystery aspect of this book. It was first and foremost about proving that the presumed murderer was in fact, not the murderer, and then about finding who really was the murderer. But this book felt very "high school drama" to me. It gave me "13 reasons why" netflix series' vibes. The clues Pip found... they just happened to be there. She just happened to find the Bells on her way back home. They just happened to have recieved the news. And she really guessed the murderer from facial expressions???? it's possible but i was hoping for a more solid proof. The expectations the book set at the beginning, it couldn't keep up at the end. It felt like too much of a princess story. A princess goes on the lookout for something, finds resistance but with the help of her loved ones finds strength to complete the task. At the end, everything is okay, the princess is completely unharmed, she gets the prince and everybody loves her.
    I found myself skipping the parts of all the lovey dovey things the protagonist's family was doing. It was boring to me.
    On the good side: the thrill of not knowing who did it, connecting the dots with the protagonist, trying to get ahead of the plot, it was a really worth it. But not enough to make me read the other books. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one though, 100% would recommend.
    Also, I sometimes love the part where it suddenly clicks that is the book named what it is named. In this one, even after reading it, I couldn't figure out why it was named so, except that the protagonist was a textbook "good girl" but hiw was it her guide to murder? Nah man!

    • @simranbansal9303
      @simranbansal9303 Рік тому

      Adding spoilers here: The part where Pip just "found" the Bells on the road, yea it is very possible since their "daughter" had just been found and of course they were gonna be called. Kilton being a small town, it's very plausible that they met. What I meant there to say was, it was all just too good to be true. A little more hard evidence or something like the proof Sal had of his innocence from Max's Facebook account could've been better. All in all: it couldn't keep the expectations it set. But it was definitely worth the time.

    I absolutely HATE reading and when I say HATE I mean HAAAAAAAAAAAATE IT WILL ALL MY PASSION. But I HAVE to make an exception for agggtm (I’ve also started gg;bb and debating whether to read as good as dead) it’s so good and for a girl who has lots of anxiety over this kind of stuff, it didn’t make me scared. So if I can read this book as I hate reading and have serious anxiety problems, then I’m sure everyone will like this book if they tried it. My friends are sick to death of me talking about it but it’s amazing. I am a huge Ravi and pip shipper. THEY ARE JUST SO CUTE TOGETHER
