I loved this book! I try to leave a bit of time in between reading the original book and it’s sequel but I honestly couldn’t with this one as I needed to know more. It was tense and mysterious but still had those small little bits of dry British humour here and there. I rarely get to experience this as a lot of books I read are very American!

I did predict that

Charlie was involved, I originally thought maybe he was involved in a higher up drug thing? But after the random watch incident I had a hunch

I now find myself needing to get the third book as Im interested in how this might portray Pip’s

potential PTSD following the events at the end of the book. It kinda showed this through her angry outbursts before

this was better than the first book. it was slow in the beginning and i didn't really cared about the plot or the characters but then it got better, it was nice to see more of Pip's character i think she's underdeveloped (like all the other characters) but in this book it felt like we see her develop a little bit. also it was kinda obvious to me that

Charlie

was involved cause yk

he is new to town

but i didn't mind it. also another thing i can't believe is that this book made me like

Stanley

and it was also obious that

Max was going to found not guilty i mean come on from the start they talk about how good it's going to be when he is locked up and you could just tell the opposite was going to happen

It's been awhile since if read GGGTM. But I think I liked that better than this second part. It's still pretty good though. In some way I thought the plot twist wasn't properly prepared. In another way that made it more interesting and unforseeable. Honestly not much action is happening until the last third of the book but it's not boring though. The aftermath was quite interesting but I felt like it doesn't need a part 3. The ending is a little open but in my opinion it's in away that keeps the imagination running and still isn't like the plot hasn't ended.
I had a good time with this book. Let's see what the final part brings.
