Who will look for you when you’re the one who disappears?

The review contains spoilers!!!

I recently finished the book and my jaw is still on the ground and I am trying to pick up the pieces of my heart with more or less success.
First of all, before we get into anything serious, I would like to note that this was an incredible journey for my soul, which it needed for centuries and past lives. I mean really, just like the poppy war opened my eyes and took me to a terrible world where you either become a monster yourself or you don't survive alone.
I mean, Pip might have taken the title A Good Girl's Guide to Murder a little too seriously this time.

PIP 


Pip Amobi-Fitz you will always be famous to me, with every flaw and broken soul. Now that we've got that out of the way, let me start by saying that I don't blame her, not at all, not for one minute, and never will, because she did what she had to do to save herself from the darkness that awaited her. How could she be blamed? How could she be condemned for making the world a better place?
 Obviously taking the life of a living being is a terrible thing, but for Barney I don't see it as such.
An eye for an eye, a soul for a soul. She just settled the bill he owed for months. Plus, I think she brought justice to Andie, brought justice to Becca and the other dead girls, brought her wildest nightmares to life to give them dreams in a broken world. Some would say that she is guilty and that she is weak, but in fact Pip is incredibly strong, right from the beginning - when her life was not in danger - and she remained strong until the end. She went through way től much during this book that would make others break and she still held on to the light (the PTSD parts were real). Pip is my cornerstone, my teammate, and now that everything has come to an end, I think it's time to let her go.

RAVI


Oh my life, my love. Ravi deserves so much, so much more than what fate has given him. Even so, he is a real supporter, a loyal friend and a dream from which I never want to wake up. Now, honestly, what boyfriend would help hide a corpse with you? Save you again and again? Well, I have an estimated number and it's close to zero. 
Ravi was perfect from the first minute to the last, he made me believe that you can always find the light, that you can fix what was broken no matter what. In short, if your partner won't help you hide a body, girl, run, because you only deserve a Ravi.

THE OTHERS


I can't cover everyone, but Naomi, Cara, Nat, Jamie and the others have become the top of my heart. They are true friends, even a big family, who are bound together by common trauma and past across time and space. They all got the closure they needed, which I'm more than happy about because they damn well deserved it.

Jason & Max got what they deserved and that's why my heart is truly soar with happiness.

──────────────────

THE PLOT/ETC.

I loved every minute and every line, although the whole murder and the planning (or hiding it) was a bit far for me, but I'm not complaining because the pace wasn't that bad.
Okay, but the ending broke my heart, in a way that I never thought it could break into so many pieces. Ravi is my everything, my sun, my moon, my heart, my faithful star, who never left Pip, not even at the lowest point, not at the very end when everything became so dark, he brought the light back into her life (after a year and a half ) but still, it means so much for me.

RECOMMENDATION


I recommend that everyone read this series at least once in their lifetime, because it's worth the hype, it really does, it takes you to a place similar to ours and grip you until the very end!

An absolute character assassination of one of my favorite MCs. Wish I hadn’t read this last book and stopped at GGBB. Yeah. This was not it Queen Holly. 

Also
after the Andie email reveal about someone in the house with her being DT, how did Pip immediately not go to Jason. Like actually. Let’s think about how intuitive and efficient Pip was with clues/evidence in the first two books…i get that she had a lot going on in this book if you know what I mean but ffs girl. you’re THE murder girl. Still love this series and author. Just disappointed with this read

While Pip isn’t as naive as she was two books ago, there is still just a lot in this novel that represents a more juvenile perspective on life and that makes the story unrealistic. I love the romance and family elements that were included in this latest installment. I’m surprised, in a way, about Pip’s actions and her acceptance of them but lean towards believe that she did what was best.

Absolutely adore this book, it’s so intense and there is so many amazing plot twists, love seeing Pip and Ravi develop, I know Holly won’t but I need more to the ending, Holly’s writing is beautiful and I hope she keeps writing more totally worth the time!

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I absolutely gobbled this trilogy UP! When I started it, I never would have imagined this is where we’d end up. Pip’s PTSD was SO realistic and devastating. The plot took the most unexpected turns possible, but I absolutely believed every bit of it. I can’t believe Holly Jackson so flawlessly has us rooting for Pip even as her character grows darker and darker…
