  • C: by now you know the main characters quite well, i still get confused with te side characters though. i coulnd't describe them in more than two sentences if i had to & when charlie green turned out to be the catfish i was trying to figure out who his is during the whole chapter...
  • P: it definitely didn't go where i thought it would, but over all i found it a bit wired. the whole child brunswick thing was super interesting and gave a cool twist, but the way it played out... idk. i was definitely expecting something different
  • L: i don't know with these murder mysteries... there are always thing that don't make that much sense to me. the whole layla meads thing, how did she get in contact with all possible child bronswicks over tinder or instagram..? hwo did nobody notice that she used pictures of some student, i thought kilton was a small town. why did stanley keep jamey in his bathroom for seven days??? like whaat? like i get he was scared but whaaat?
  • E: it was entertaining, would i listen to it again? no.

I really enjoyed this book as a sequel to AGGTM! It wasn’t as thrilling as the first novel, but sequels usually aren’t in my opinion. The main character has gotten darker with each novel so it’s been exciting to see her development. I like that the novel also follows along with Pips investigation in real time, it provides transcripts of interviews, pictures of “evidence”, emails, etc so you can see it all too. 

The plot was good in this one, but not as jaw dropping. I really felt like the twist of who “Layla” really was, was not as satisfying and felt kind of sudden. I wanted
Charlie and Flora
to be more developed. Other than that, I did enjoy this!

🎧 Holly Jackson does an amazing job in maintaining continuity, suspense and thriller in her second book 'Good Girl, Bad Blood'. While the mystery is different, the plot evolves with a new type of thrill and intensity, keeping the overarching story feeling consistent.

🎧 Pip, the young, amateur detective, continues to be lovable and inspiring. Jackson excels at making the reader continue to love Pip due to the strong character development.

🎧 Very enjoyable read with twists that tied together really well towards the ending. The second book, being the bridge between the debut and the finale of the series is so well written, making the reader excited to read the sequel!
