♡ 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!
