3eggomelet's review against another edition
Uggghhhh it's so BAD! I literally couldn't get any further. The plot and characters' decisions became straight up unbelievable.

I have a lot of thoughts.
I saw a lot of reviews saying they didn't like who Pip had become in this book and I just wanna say that I would've done the same in her place. like, the EXACT same things.... idk what that says about me but I'm being honest lmao. like, I would've done exactly what she did, no difference (and what her friends and Ravi did for her too). FUCK [REDACTED] AND FUCK [REDACTED].
I liked the ending but I wished we'd gotten a LOT more in the epilogue because that part was definitely rushed and I feel like Pip and Ravi should've gotten a bigger more detailed epilogue. (I should've gotten that 😔).
also, I would've definitely changed that one thing close to the ending. we all know what I'm talking about. it hurt for a little bit.
also, this book changed my WHOLE perspective on Andie Bell???? first I wasn't expecting her to be mentioned in this book, and DEFINITELY wasn't expecting to change my opinion on her...
I'm obviously in love with Ravi as I've said before.... who wouldn't??? like, the way he treats Pip.... I need a man to feel that way towards me.
my other thoughts are full of spoilers and I don't like posting spoilers so I won't post them on here.
anyways, I loved this trilogy and I will definitely be re-reading.

I have really mixed feelings about this book. In a good way! This trilogy was a whirlpool of plot twists and really good characters. This book being the grand finale doesn't sit well with me. I need atleast 5 more books lol. I was hooked from the first page and I still can't believe that it's over. 3 books and 2 brought me to tears. Crazy. 3 crazy good books. As Good As Dead was well-written. Fit well with A Good Girl's Guide To Murder and Good Girl, Bad Blood. While AGGGTM felt like a relatively bright and fun 'people solve a case yay' type of book, this book felt like a dark 'consequences of solving the case' type of book. I loved the references and nods to book 1 and 2. I read the trilogy in one go but you could pick this book up at any given moment and it would still make sense.
As Good As Dead broke me. Especially'we could get married' ugh why why why. I loved solving the case alongside pip and I can't believe that it's over. I loved how she grew as a character. It showed what the effects and consequences of book 1 and 2 were and how she dealt with it. There were times when I was genuinely upset, happy or frustrated while reading. This book, this trilogy it definitely makes you feel things. That's what's so good about it.
As Good As Dead broke me. Especially

This book is probably my least favorite in the series but I still really enjoyed it because WOW. HOLY SHIT!! Nothing could have prepared me for this. One thing I will say is that the culrpit was super obvious but I think it was written that way based on everything that happens after we figure it out. But i didn't like the fact that there was no shock factor when it was revealed because she had basically told us earlier in the book who it was (if that makes sense). But I really loved seeing how everything from the first book connects to this final book and seeing the real reasons for everyone's decisions throughout the series (mainly regarding Andie Bell).

The start took a while to pick up but by 50% this book had me flipping pages eyes boggled.
I genuinely did NOT see the book taking the turns it did. I felt so damn smart like I know whothe DT killer is it's so obvious but Holly Jackson said you thought I'd make it so easy and gave me emotional whiplash for 300 odd pages.
Poor Pip really goes through it this whole series and this book really lets that sink in for you. You feel the PTSD she is living with, a constant under layer of grief and anxiety following her, which really helped immerse me in the story.
The way this manages to circle back to elements from the first story surprised me as I would NOT have guessed that was in the cards at all. Bit sad we didnt get a proper resolution to the Charlie Green storyline from the previous book especially with Pip wanting so badly to talk to him again in the first part of this story but I can understand why the focus dropped off of him as the story progressed.
I could see this book being really divisive for previous readers as it takes a decisively different turn than the previous two books in the series but for my part I was hooked.
I would've preferred to have seen more of Max trial than just a brief headline at the end and sacrificed some of the alibi/set up but given how much went down in the book I understand the authors decision not go tthere
Needless to say Team Pip and Ravi but also Team Get This Girl A Therapist.

Please somebody force Pip into therapy. For such a small town the amount of institutional failure is simply staggering.

A bit slow paced in the beginning and i was really struggling to read it, but once u get past that its the best book in the series i think!!! So many plottwists it was amazing, loved how everything came full circle from the first book
i dont think that the series coming out will be half as good as the book
Spoiler:from the moment we got to see the unsent email from andie i thought DT was jason bell, not dan da silva and im so proud i was right, because how do you predict a holly jackson plottwist right? Also i hate the open ending and how she had to separate herself from everyone in the ending
i dont think that the series coming out will be half as good as the book
