I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first two. I feel like was way too long and I lost interest so many times. People hyped this book so much about the plot twist, so I came into it with so much expectations and got disappointed.

This series will never not be good to me. Yes, this book is so much darker in a different way compared to the others in the series, but of course it is. Pip faced something so traumatic in the previous one that many people wouldn't even be able to handle. She has changed, and I loved how Holly Jackson portrayed that. The internal conflict in her mind about Charlie and Stanley, foreshadowing the big twist in this book. It will always and forever be one of my faves.

Spoilers:
Many people found it annoying with the ending because we couldn't see how Ravi and Pip ended, but the pressure for a writer to write the perfect ending is enormous. And Holly Jackson wrote it anamzingly nevertheless. She left it for open interpretation because anything could happen. She wanted us to leave with an understand that this is the end, and we won't get a random book with Pip and Ravi and their kids in 20 years. I am content with the ending, and I loved the entirety of the book.

If people are mad at Pip's morals, I mean come on, you should be mad at many others in the book then. Pip faced so much unforgettable trauma, and it led her to this. This event showed her that her friends will stand by her, and Ravi as well. Throughout the series, the police never trusted her. Looking into her mind helped me with this as well. It's reflecting so much on the modern crime politics and how so many victims come forward with no one believing them. Pip had good reasons, and with what she's faced, I agree with what she did. Yes, doing what she did was wrong physically, but Max wouldn't have faced consequences without that, neither Jason Bell.

We see the fu circle, with finding that Andie Bell was trying to protect her sister, and Pip was protecting others from Max and Jason. I loved everything and I will never stop

This book really neatly tied together the trilogy,

Andie still being a part of the mystery felt fitting.
That Pip didn't realize that Jason Bell was DT earlier felt a bit off, I knew that immedialy when she found out about his companys connections and that he was away on the night Tara was killed. She should have at least questioned what he was doing that night.

Overall I really loved how Pips character grew during the series, and how her trauma is dealt with. The pacing and events really kept me hooked all the way through and I was truly stressed out while reading.
I'm now ready for the tv-series to drop and I'm really excited to see all the characters come to life!!

So much has happen in the last book of a good girls guide to murder series . The author is brilliant the way she explained more about the character of why Andie did what she did. She was trying to draw attention cause her father Jason Bell was DT Killer along. I didn’t like that Pip had to ran away from her friends and family and hid cause she was the one who killed Jason Bell. She had no contact with any of them. She wanted to admitted so bad but Ravi wouldn’t let her . I love their relationship it’s so cute, but at least in the last page after 1 year she finally contacted Ravi cause she came back for Connecticut vs Max Hasting.
it’s an exciting ending and the ironic title of the book series. I loved so much it got out of my reading slump. The book was quite interesting . I didn’t want put it down.
