baronessekat's review against another edition
3.0
I absolutely loved all the books in the "Please don't tell my parents" series, and was happy to find a prequel to it. That being said, this one left me rather ho-hum. I don't know if it's because I listened to it rather than read it (though I have listened to all the other books), but I honestly didn't particularly care for the main character of Goodnight. For her age, she felt rather immature - almost TOO much like the character of Bad Penny in the other books.
What I did like was the origin stories of some of the secondary characters that are in the main series.
All in all, it was not a bad story. But I think when recommending the series, I would say either start with this book or skip it all together.

Amazing. If there was an option for six stars I would give it six. Everyone should have read this.

Oh my goodness. The amazing abuse of alliteration made this book an instant favorite.
