Great intro to the GGGTM trilogy. Was it necessary? Nope. Was it good? Yes, but it could’ve been better.
Although it’s not obligatory to read it (because this is just Pip playing a mystery game with her friends), in this short novella of less than a hundred pages you can take a peek of how the main character likes to solve mysteries and how/why she decided to solve the case of Andie Bell for her school project (which is the main plot of the first book). It was a really fast read so I recommend it to anyone who wants to start these books.

I haven’t read A Good Girls Guide To Murder yet (this had no spoilers for that yay) since I don’t usually like mysteries but the characters and Pip especially are so intriguing and nuanced in this book that I’m feeling more hopeful towards the mystery aspect of A Good Girls Guide To Murder. Dare I say Kill Joy was even cozy at times??

A quick and easy read! It provides you some basic insight into shat happened. Would recommend if you like AGGGTM. Not as good at the other books but still good!
