I wasn’t sure about that his book at first and next thing you know, I’m finishing it. Absolutely worth the hype! So good! It is most definitely YA and has stupid teens making stupid choices that aren’t always realistic, but books don’t always have to be realistic or make sense to be good. This is one of those books!

This was really fun, but I felt like the ending required a little too much suspension of disbelief. It was so crazy and layered. I definitely think that I will continue this series though.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder was a fabulous book of obsession and mystery. My only complaint was that end was a little disappointing, but even that was because I was hoping from the start that it would be going in a slightly different direction.

i also hated that they killed the dog! Like why??

The book was super captivating and I was constantly making new theories and updating old ones. While not the best book I've read, I would certainly recommend it to anyone even slightly interested.

Loved the book. It kept me hooked the ENTIRE time. Trying to plot out the murder as they did was so fun. The balance between revelation and character build was quite nice.

It only gets points off because of the ending. The love story between Ravi and Pippa felt rushed and weird. Age gap is old, how they developed felt odd… it felt to far-fetched for me. But maybe that’s what book #2 is all about…
