overall a very good book! the way the author told the story as a reporter and high school student was very interesting. however, it felt longer than it needed to be.

i want to rate it higher but i can't bc of the 20 year old and 17 year old relationship. idk if things are different in britain (where the author lives) but that's um... yeah no.

This was so addictive and intense! While I didn’t love the final reveals, the rest of the story was so amazing that I can’t possibly give this anything less than 5⭐️. Pip and Ravi are a duo I didn’t know I needed. I cannot wait to pick up the sequel.

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.
