Wow, Pip is back at it with her investigative chaos! Imagine being a teen with the Sherlock brain, but also somehow still in high school dealing with a podcast, missing persons, and a killer on the loose. The drama and twists are intense. Pip’s the kind of person you’d never want investigating your life...but definitely wouldn’t mind having as a friend to spill the tea. If you loved the first one, buckle up. This one's like a true-crime podcast that keeps you up till 2 a.m.

This was super unrealistic and a little melodramatic in some places, to the point that it kind of took me out of the story. That being said, I absolutely tore through it and couldn't wait to see what happened next so its hard for me to be too negative about it.

Okay so a couple thoughts with spoilers ahead, so you've been warned! Teenagers definitely don't talk the way they do in this book, it made me laugh sometimes honestly, but that's a pretty small gripe. Pips is really stupid sometimes and she doesn't ever seem to get any real consequences. Like she just goes and vandalizes a house and hopes for the best? It just seems really dumb.

All that being said, this was definitely a fun read and I would recommend it to anyone who liked the first book. Oh and definitely read the first one before reading this one or you'll be totally lost.

Poor Pip. And poor Jake. 

They are giving this girl TRAUMA! A thrilling sequel to AGGGTM that had me trying my best to play detective. 

I’ve heard the finale ends in a wild ride so it’s already been checkout out on Libby 👀👀👀

Haha I read this in 5 hours. Record time. I could not put this book down. It is currently 1 am and I have a migrane but holy heck was this a good book.

Holly Jackson is a phenomenal writer. I was blown away by the pacing, the twists and turns, and everything else. It was insane.

Also, my two cents:

PIPPA DESERVES BETTER. My girl needs therapy.

And Max can just cease to exist thank you very much.

This was such a great second read. Highly recommend the audio for all of these. It was such a great and thrilling book. I love the way the story unravels in this one while carrying the first one.
