the plot is insane - i could not recall it now if you asked me. (at least not exactly).
it was extremely suspenseful and i binge-read the last third of it, because i simply could NOT put it away. 

it is super interesting how this book (series) deals with the idea of "good" and "bad" - noone is really completely "good" and noone is thoroughly "bad" either. 

apart from that i also love how holly jackson plays with the formatting in suspenseful scenes, and her writing style is (apart from genius and very clear-cut) also full of metaphors. i love it!

A very good follow up to the original story! The narration was absolutely phenomenal, the cast made it feel so authentic & really brings the reader/listener into it. Similar to the first in the series, this one kept me guessing to the very end.

I read the first AGGGTM book in late 2021 and for some reason never finished off this series, but boy am I glad I am now! I appreciated how easy this story was to get in to, not much information is needed from the previous book but they still have a very strong connection. 

Honestly my main (and really only) qualm with this book is how young Pip is! It's hard for me to wrap my head her only being 17/18, like hello adults in her life help her??? why is pip chasing down murders and solving misssing persons cases before graduating high school!?

I do love the additional case files, podcast excerpts, and photos added in really keeps me in the action. Jamie is an intriguing character and I loved getting to learn about him!
