Jackson does it again in the sequel to AGGGTM. Pippa once again investigates as her friends older brother goes missing and the police won't investigate. In this new installment Pippa is determined to rescue her friends brother and return him safely. This new book retains all the joy and intrigue of the first while remaining different from the first books story. The only way this is really bad though is because Sal is in this book way less than the first unfortunately. I am so excited to see where Jackson takes the story into the second and accompanying novella.

The end has salvaged the entire book. Like it was boring until a little over 50% but then everything came together and the rage. The rage was so good I’m still angry alongside Pip.

Poor Stanely. He didn’t deserve that. No child ever deserves this. Ffs.

Is this  truly a five-star I don’t know, but it made me cry like a lot so that Has to count for something. I just really enjoyed this and I just really like pip. It was very mysterious and also kind of creepy. I did kind of guess one plot but like that doesn’t decrease anything for me. I don’t know I think I just read this at the perfect time I still can’t even believe I cried

I don’t care how inept a police department is, they’re not going to sit around and let an 18 year old girl and her high school friends traipse through potential crime scenes, create search parties, and investigate a possible missing person/murder. It’s wildly unbelievable and yet, somehow, you forget all of that and just pay attention to the fact that Pip has an uncanny way of reading the clues to solve big puzzles no one else can.
