A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

The BEST book I’ve ever read (so far, and I’m not kidding)
This book is indescribable. This is the book that got me back into reading. I LOVE the plot of the story. It really keeps you in the loop. This book kept me up at night reading it, and I could visualize the characters and try to think of what could possibly happen next. that’s how you know it’s really a good book. It didn’t start off slow, it started at just the right pace, it started off with a little backstory and then went right into the thriller of the story, probably from the first to the third chapter it starts off like that. I also love the interviews that Pip does. It’s really cool and I love how Holly Jackson didn’t use quotation marks for the dialogue in the interviews, because sometimes too many quotation marks lead me to skip a few lines and then I can’t enjoy reading the story. I love the uniqueness of some of the pages, without it using pictures of the characters, which is something I really like, cause it gives the readers a chance to visualize in their own. From the interviews, to maps and notes and boards, it’s truly unique and something I really like. It gives off its own flair. I am buying the other books of this series because I HAVE to know what happens. This is a big win for me, and it has changed my perspective on reading. This is something I will continue throughout my life, and thanks to the few books I’ve read, including this one. I’d recommend this book to everyone! It really is the perfect book, from someone just starting to get into reading, to people who have read for a long time. GET THIS BOOK!!! I CANT SAY IT ENOUGH

Such a fun read!
This one was such a FUN read and I had a hard time putting it down. I loved the story telling and the pacing was excellent, and was overall just an easy and enjoyable read.I'll admit this story does require some suspension belief... For a high school girl to start her own murder investigation, and knowingly put herself in danger, talking to known drug dealers, etc was a bit much. And everyone she interviewed just seemed to spill too much detail all too easily, which just seemed all to convenient if I put too much thought into. But that being said, the way the author wrote the story made it easy for me to disregard those things and still enjoy the book!I really enjoyed the main character and her gumption. She was very easy to root for and I loved her personality. I do think a little more effort could have been put in to develop her character more, and add a deeper layer of connection for the reader that I think would have taken it to the next level. But once again, overall characters were very well done!It's hard for me to enjoy young adult books, but I did really love this one! Didn't have the usual level of immaturity I often find in other young adult books, so this was very enjoyable for me. Can't wait to read the rest of the series, and even more excited for the TV show!

Genuinely surprised
I originally picked up this book to branch out on the genre of books I normally read, which is romance. I heard such good things about it pretty much ever social media platform. From tiktok, to Instagram, to Goodreads, to even some Facebook posts.When I say this book is a really good book. I am telling the absolute truth. Other people may not like it for their personal reasons. But I for one very much enjoyed it. It only took me two days to read the whole thing (while doing projects in the middle).The pacing was very good. There was no random moments put in-between the key things for the mystery. Everything that happened, or was said had a meaning and lead to the whole conclusion at the end.I liked that it didn't put ravi and pip's budding chemistry at the main points at all in the story. It was a sub plot, that u would see every so often through the book. Specially considering I picked up the book because I wanted to get away from romance.The ending was great. The plot twist had me in my bed trying to figure out what I hadn't payed attention to. It was freaking great.I would recommend this book to anyone. Any age, any gender. This is one of those books that pretty much everyone would like.

Perfect for Those Loving Cold Case Mysteries
✨ PRINCEMAN REVIEW ✨📝 For her senior project, Pip decides to investigate the mystery of missing person Andie Bell and suicide of Sal Singh. While everyone thinks that Andie was murdered by her boyfriend Sal, Pip thinks differently. Teaming up with Sal's younger brother, Ravi, the two take risks in order to figure out what TRULY HAPPENED five years ago. Is Sal actually guilty? Or is there an even more sinister figure at play?What I 🤍:🔎 Girl Detective🎙️ Recorded Interviews🖥️ Written Notes/Thoughts☠️ True Crime🐕 Underdog Story🔪 Death Threats to Stop InvestigatingRight away I was sucked into the formatting of this book! We are first introduced to Pip, who's an awkward, homework-loving senior. The story rotates between her POV, interview notes and her project journal entries. I think due to the format, I was hooked and it kept the story moving at a quick pace. I also really enjoyed how from the beginning, we are rooting for Sal. Pip mentions her bias in thinking that he is innocent, and I loved watching her try to prove this thinking. She's also such a brave MC, even putting herself in danger lots of times (this is where I'd get scared.)Prince's Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫Scare Factor: 😱😱😱Read If ➡️: You loved YA cold case mysteries like Truly DeviousRead 📅: Beginning of the School Year, August-OctoberCW ⚠️: wowsa...lots! Drugs, Alcohol, Murder, Rape, Cyber Bullying, Child Abuse, Pedophilia, Vehicular Assault, Animal CrueltyOverall, if you enjoy cold case, small town mysteries, this is for you. Of course, I had to read this before the show came out on Netflix. I will say, this book is BETTER than the show. Lots of changes were made, especially if you read the US publication of this book. And, the Barney storyline gutted me. 😭 IYKYK.
