Wow I did not expect to be so invested in this story & series!!! I saw one of the major twists coming, but that didn’t impede my enjoyment of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. I don’t know if I’ll ever reread the first book, but I definitely want to continue on with the rest of the trilogy!! 😁

It was a really good book. I really enjoyed it. As a YA reader I wasn’t expecting some of the twists to it. I did start to guess the ending.  <Spoiler> When Pip found it was Mr. Ward. However it kept me guessing. I recommend

If you’re thinking about buying or reading this book, do it now!!!!! I regret not buying this book earlier!

The story is of Pippa Fitz-Amobi, she’s trying to solve the case of who murdered Andie Bell. Everyone in Little Kilton says it’s Sal Singh, but Pip knows that Sal wasn’t the type to do that, and she knows that it couldn’t have been him.

I first heard of this book a while back on booktok, i figured the book was probably alright and nothing special, since booktok is also very fond of Colleen Hoover (whos books i very much dislike). But just 1 chapter into the book, and I knew I was wrong! 

The book has amazing characters, you can see their unique personalities throughout the book
The story is well written and very captivating, making you feel like you’re actually in little Kilton and witnessing everything that’s happening

The thing I loved most about this book was how clever the story was. It was easy to follow, yet so many characters, details, and plot twists. You could never tell who was the murderer, or even who was good or bad. I had a suspicion of everyone while reading!!

Overall, the book is very much worth your time and money. You will not regret it.

Stop reading if you don’t want to be spoiled!

I found Pio and Ravi’s relationship so cute

It was so odd how Elliot was the one who killed Sal this whole time… i never really suspected him. I love books were you can’t guess the ending

Those texts and threats from Becca were so terrible… i was literally so mortified

Barneys death was hands down the worst part of the book, i know damn well that Becca did that ON PURPOSE
