A great edition to "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" series. I had so much fun reading the trilogy so it was fun to revisit Pip and her friends for this cute novella. That ending really threw me for a loop though. I enjoyed this though and I love Holly Jackson's writing.

This was a really cute novella, but I don’t really think it’s necessary for the main story. It shows why Pip got the fire under her butt to discover what really happened with that original mystery but nothing else. It was still a unique little novella story line though and was told well.
I’m glad I didn’t spend $13 on buying this book and just got it from the library cause otherwise it would have been a really big waste of my money.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I read it after all of Agggtm even tho it’s a prequel, and i liked it that way. It was no where near as gripping as Agggtm but still enjoyable and reading it after such a gripping, heavy, intense, emotional trilogy, it was a nice step back into something not as dark and overall a really fun, easy, more layed back read!

Cute short novella murder mystery party

Worth picking up first if you haven’t picked up this series before but if you have then this prequel is not necessary at all.
