Is this  truly a five-star I don’t know, but it made me cry like a lot so that Has to count for something. I just really enjoyed this and I just really like pip. It was very mysterious and also kind of creepy. I did kind of guess one plot but like that doesn’t decrease anything for me. I don’t know I think I just read this at the perfect time I still can’t even believe I cried

CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!
I gave AGGGTM 3 stars and I am disappointed to say I have to give this one 2.5 stars.  I was absolutely HOOKED the first half of the book and then the end kind of lost me. I was hoping for more answers about what happened in the last book, or for them to be tied together. <SPOILER> like how did Elliot REALLY NOT KNOW THAT THE GIRL HE HAD WASNT ANDIE???the whole breaking into a house AGAIN and going off to confront the suspected killer independently AGAIN was annoying to me. Like you seriously didn’t learn your lesson the first time??!! And I also don’t feel like there was a good enough reason for the police not to be involved. The whole “oh well we’re busy with other cases” yeah but Pip couldn’t have tried again after the 48 hours??? And she had to put together her own search team and go out to face the killer by her self again?????And Jaime didn’t get in ANY sort of trouble for attempted murder on Stanley?? <SPOILER> I liked the writing and the first bit I was really into but it totally lost me and I wanted more wrap up from the previous book.

Took me a while to get into and left me feeling underwhelmed. Maybe a case of middle book syndrome? 

Was also caught off guard by how sad and depressing the ending was, especially because I found the first book quite wholesome.
