This book simultaneously scared the shit out of me and was so amazing that I couldn’t put it down. I looooooved the darker edge this book has compared to the other books in this series. Again it’s not super realistic but I do not care. At all. Didn’t love the ending but the rest of the book more than enough made up for it.

Reread rating: 5

After reading a lot more YA mystery books over the last 2 years, I've come to appreciate the A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series more. The way Holly Jackson weaved the whole story and everything came full circle was just amazing. I will never shut up about how good her writing (and this series is). I hope if they decide to continue the AGGGTM TV series, they will do all the books justice, especially As Good As Dead.

I love how the series gets darker and darker. I love how we got to see how Pip spiraled. I love looking at how it led her to this point, understanding the reasons why this needed to be how it ended.

It's so amazing that Holly didn't shy away in this book. From everything, Pip's trauma, her drug use, the main theme of this book. If she had, we wouldn't have this masterpiece. I loved the development of Pip's character from the first book. If I started reading the first book just after completing this, the difference would give me a whiplash. I do think it's totally in character for her. I enjoyed this book so so much it's unreal
