THIS BOOK WAS SO NICE!?
I wasn't expecting anything spectacular from a novella, but wow I absolutely loved it. 
+ I would honetly say for the people who haven't read A Good Girls Guide To Murder, that they should read this first.

What a cute little prequel to one of my favorite series of all time (from my favorite author of all time)! I found so many little Easter eggs to the main series. I was almost annoyed about the ending (Pip finding the right answer with a bit too much speculation thrown in), but what happened instead was a wonderful subversion of my (and the genres) expectations. Holly Jackson is a master storyteller and I can’t wait for more of her work!
