♡ Missing Person

♡ True-Crime Podcast

♡ Amateur Detective Work

Again, much like the last book I loved the extra details in the formatting.  The little details like that are really lovely.

This book started out a bit cliché, I mean asking a teenager to help find your missing (possibly dead) brother seems totally full proof.  However, I did get invested after a while and the plot really went in a different direction than I was expecting.  The “who did it” was a bit random but it was entertaining to read about the journey.  

Pip having a true-crime podcast totally fits her vibe.  If she doesn’t become a detective after this I’m going to scream because she’s doing the whole police departments job at this point.

Spice Level: n/a

POV: First Person

Release Date: 02, March 2021

Rep: BIPOC (Main and Side Characters), LGBTQIA+ (Side Character)

I read the first AGGGTM book in late 2021 and for some reason never finished off this series, but boy am I glad I am now! I appreciated how easy this story was to get in to, not much information is needed from the previous book but they still have a very strong connection. 

Honestly my main (and really only) qualm with this book is how young Pip is! It's hard for me to wrap my head her only being 17/18, like hello adults in her life help her??? why is pip chasing down murders and solving misssing persons cases before graduating high school!?

I do love the additional case files, podcast excerpts, and photos added in really keeps me in the action. Jamie is an intriguing character and I loved getting to learn about him!

🎧 Holly Jackson does an amazing job in maintaining continuity, suspense and thriller in her second book 'Good Girl, Bad Blood'. While the mystery is different, the plot evolves with a new type of thrill and intensity, keeping the overarching story feeling consistent.

🎧 Pip, the young, amateur detective, continues to be lovable and inspiring. Jackson excels at making the reader continue to love Pip due to the strong character development.

🎧 Very enjoyable read with twists that tied together really well towards the ending. The second book, being the bridge between the debut and the finale of the series is so well written, making the reader excited to read the sequel!
