This was my second time reading this book, because I wanted it fresh in my mind for the adaptation coming in a couple weeks and it did not disappoint!

Everyone knows what happened five years ago. Popular high school student Andie Bell was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then killed himself. Five years later, and the case is closed and solved, but Pip just knows there is more to the story. Disguised as a senior project, Pip delves into the case that rocked her small town, determined to discover the truth, whatever the cost. 

I loved this book the first time around, and the second was no different! I adore Pip, I relate to her on so many levels and she’s just such an enjoyable character! I also love Ravi, and the pair of them together are just so cute!

In terms of the storyline and format of this book, I really enjoy when books are formatted a little differently, and the addition of Pip’s notes, interviews and the rest of her findings works really well in this book. 

I really enjoyed the storyline, it’s quite typical YA Mystery/Thriller but in the best way possible!

Overall, I loved this book and I can’t wait for the TV show!

"A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" by Holly Jackson not only rescued me from a reading slump but turned out to be a thrilling escape. The multitude of theories I formed about the murderer kept me engaged, but the unexpected plot twist in the last few chapters had me glued to the pages well into the early morning hours.

Pip and Ravi, the main characters, felt  likable and realistic, navigating their roles with authenticity. Despite the author being white, the representation of People of Color in the book was well done. I'm eager to delve into the next book in the series, anticipating what's next for Pippa's investigative journey.
