Reviews with content warning for Death - As Good As Dead

I have a lot of thoughts.

I saw a lot of reviews saying they didn't like who Pip had become in this book and I just wanna say that I would've done the same in her place. like, the EXACT same things.... idk what that says about me but I'm being honest lmao. like, I would've done exactly what she did, no difference (and what her friends and Ravi did for her too). FUCK [REDACTED] AND FUCK [REDACTED].

I liked the ending but I wished we'd gotten a LOT more in the epilogue because that part was definitely rushed and I feel like Pip and Ravi should've gotten a bigger more detailed epilogue. (I should've gotten that 😔).

also, I would've definitely changed that one thing close to the ending. we all know what I'm talking about. it hurt for a little bit.

also, this book changed my WHOLE perspective on Andie Bell???? first I wasn't expecting her to be mentioned in this book, and DEFINITELY wasn't expecting to change my opinion on her...

I'm obviously in love with Ravi as I've said before.... who wouldn't??? like, the way he treats Pip.... I need a man to feel that way towards me.

my other thoughts are full of spoilers and I don't like posting spoilers so I won't post them on here.

anyways, I loved this trilogy and I will definitely be re-reading.

I have really mixed feelings about this book. In a good way! This trilogy was a whirlpool of plot twists and really good characters. This book being the grand finale doesn't sit well with me. I need atleast 5 more books lol. I was hooked from the first page and I still can't believe that it's over. 3 books and 2 brought me to tears. Crazy. 3 crazy good books. As Good As Dead was well-written. Fit well with A Good Girl's Guide To Murder and Good Girl, Bad Blood. While AGGGTM felt like a relatively bright and fun 'people solve a case yay' type of book, this book felt like a dark 'consequences of solving the case' type of book. I loved the references and nods to book 1 and 2. I read the trilogy in one go but you could pick this book up at any given moment and it would still make sense.

As Good As Dead broke me. Especially

'we could get married'

ugh why why why. I loved solving the case alongside pip and I can't believe that it's over. I loved how she grew as a character. It showed what the effects and consequences of book 1 and 2 were and how she dealt with it. There were times when I was genuinely upset, happy or frustrated while reading. This book, this trilogy it definitely makes you feel things. That's what's so good about it.

This book is probably my least favorite in the series but I still really enjoyed it because WOW. HOLY SHIT!! Nothing could have prepared me for this. One thing I will say is that the culrpit was super obvious but I think it was written that way based on everything that happens after we figure it out. But i didn't like the fact that there was no shock factor when it was revealed because she had basically told us earlier in the book who it was (if that makes sense). But I really loved seeing how everything from the first book connects to this final book and seeing the real reasons for everyone's decisions throughout the series (mainly regarding Andie Bell).

Man, I'm going to be honest. I think the police would've believed her.

Please somebody force Pip into therapy. For such a small town the amount of institutional failure is simply staggering.

The plot is TWISTING. A completely unexpected, crazy and intense finish to a 5☆ series, giving Team Pip and Ravi an ending in a way they deserve. The character developement especially in this one is on another level. Gorgeously written, could not put it down, will (together with the first 2 books) be one of my top reads of the year and my entire life.
