Do you ever pick up a book and partway through you realize, wait I’ve read this before?

That’s what happened to me. I started reading a good girls guide to murder and then I was like wait why do I feel like I know what’s going to happen.

Then, I realized I’ve read the book already but it was before I started keeping track of my ratings.

I’m watched a YouTube video that breaks down the book because I don’t exactly remember the details but I remember thinking it was an interesting style of writing and the plot twist of the actual killer did kind of get me. I can’t rate this book that highly because I did forget I read it.

I do have the second book, which I’m sure I haven’t read yet and the positive reviews of this series also make me want to continue.

personally i really liked the switch between pip's logs and her third person pov. other than being a little torn about how the ending played out, i had fun reading it and sometimes that's all that matters

I love this book, it is the perfect mix of wholesome character interactions and twisting plot. I have re read it at least 4 times and I am still noticing some things particularly now the whole series is published.
