Bit of a slow ramp up to the tension but once it got going I was engrossed. I couldn’t put the book down!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK. I would definitely recommend this. Pip deserves the world. Max Hasting pissed me off. Ravi is just ❤️. Cara slayed. Jamie was kinda meh. I felt that he was a bit naive and he really really needs to get his life straightened out. I disliked him a lot and I feel so bad for his parents. Nat was portrayed wonderfully

I prefer the first book, but the ending of Good Girl, Bad Blood was marvelous. I think the third one will be the best. At least the set up is womderful.

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.

It was a typical sequel where the first one was better than this one but it’s still kept me on the edge of my seat. I did have to suspend reality for some of the pieces but I still really enjoyed the story. Some of it I could figure out but most of it was a surprise. I highly recommend reading it if you enjoyed the first one.
