Amazing book! Adventurous but you have to read the first book to understand a few things. Suspenseful and had me reading till 12:30 last night! Amazing plot and amazing characters.

"Good Girl, Bad Blood" by Holly Jackson delivers a gut-wrenching ending that left me reeling and heartbroken. The last few chapters were an emotional rollercoaster, and finding words to describe the impact feels nearly impossible. The unexpected turn at the conclusion took me by surprise, defying all initial expectations.

The character development, especially regarding
Stanley Forbes
, was masterfully executed. Jackson skillfully made me feel for his character within just a few pages, transforming my indifference into genuine emotional investment.
His death, difficult to read, left a lasting impact, and I secretly hoped for a miraculous survival that never came to pass.


The evolution of Holly Jackson's writing in this sequel impressed me, and the anticipation for the third book is palpable. While the ending was a bitter pill to swallow, it speaks to the author's ability to evoke deep emotions. A break from the intense feelings might be necessary, but the prospect of what the next installment holds is equally compelling.

Okay so... I really liked the first one and even thought i liked this one as well, it wasn't the same.
I don't know if it is because I read the first one a long time ago and i didn't really remember it but I felt too unbother through all of it.
Like yes I love my girl pip and ravi and I really like the theme and the way it is written but it didn't really catch me (emotionally ig).
I enjoyed it and when I put myself to read I couldn't quite stop but it didn't felt like the first one, like, to be honest, jamie was too much of a background character for me.
Will read the third because the end of this one gave me hope, we are again with pip and how everything affected her (that somehow I don't think it was really mentioned). Really excited about the third, as I heard is a good end for the thrilogy.
Over all, a good book but personally prefered the first.





-mid spoiler ahead-
pd: also so important to say that i really liked how holly worked through the trauma, and the anger with both Max and what happened with Stanley. That was the part that really touched me, the feeling of unfairness and honestly pip did nothing compared with what i would do to max.
