Good pastime. It's just I can never get into YA.
I feel like some bits were overly dramatic and not very smart ... like when the secret murderer was telling Pip to destroy all her information - but you should have known that we're living in a digital age and telling her to destroy her computer isn't going to work.
And can someone tell me why this book is called A Good Girl's Guide to Murder?

WOW....... I would give this 6 stars. The best book I've read in a long time. I just didn't want to put it down. It was fast paced, a constant flow of new details regarding the case. I thought I guessed the ending, but I was wrong. Amazing. Highly recommend this to anyone. My two eldest daughters are now fighting over who gets to read it first. I'm just sorry I can't erase my memory so I can enjoy it all over again.
