I don't typically read a lot of YA stories/stories with high school aged main characters, so I was worried this wouldn't keep my attention but I listened to the audiobook and think it was a great listen. The story flowed very nicely, not too fast or slow, there were a lot of clues to think about, and I couldn't help but love the main characters. Can't wait to read the next ones in the series and try to watch the tv series!

Must say I LOVE this book— truthfully, the story concluded in a beautiful way, and each turn and twist that Jackon wrote kept me engaged until the end. I didn’t know who the killer was until the end, but Pip was the mastermind who kept me going from one red string to the next. Can’t wait to read the sequel!

“From the ashes of her anger, something new was born. A feeling between terror and doubt, between chaos and logic.

She said the words in her head so many times that they became rubbery and foreign-sounding.

Stop digging, Pippa.”

This was a fun, quick mystery! If you liked Pretty Little Liars, I think you would enjoy this. A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder follows high school senior, Pippa, as she works on her capstone project. She has decided to look into the disappearance of one of her classmates from 5 years prior. And EVERYONE is a suspect.

This is a YA mystery so even though there’s a lot of heavy topics in here, it’s definitely on the lighter side. I liked the format a lot because you get to unravel the mystery at the same time as Pippa. I changed my mind so many times about the killer while reading this. It’s fun to see her interviews and journal entries as she’s researching. Because we’re investigating the mystery in real time, it’s not overly twisty but the ending was still unexpected! Everything wrapped up really nicely. Some parts were definitely far fetched but overall it was a fun read. I’m excited to watch the show and continue with the series!
