This was a great second book and I can’t wait to read the third. Pip and Ravi being back at another case should feel the same, but there was something about this time that just felt more dark and gritty. I’m happy the author doesn’t water down the story for a more YA feel, the story is just as I could imagine it in adult fiction just with a YA cast. 
A perfect book for fall. 


Crying score: yup

Jackson does it again in the sequel to AGGGTM. Pippa once again investigates as her friends older brother goes missing and the police won't investigate. In this new installment Pippa is determined to rescue her friends brother and return him safely. This new book retains all the joy and intrigue of the first while remaining different from the first books story. The only way this is really bad though is because Sal is in this book way less than the first unfortunately. I am so excited to see where Jackson takes the story into the second and accompanying novella.

Listening to this as an audiobook was a treat! This book was very engaging and it was hard to put it down. I felt so many emotions: stress, anger, and a slow kind of fear. 

Pippa evolves even further in this book, providing a depth and intensity absent from the previous book. I liked it so much more than the first.

gun violence at the end. the last couple of chapters felt like a really accurate depiction of what it feels like trauma/ptsd, and visual flashbacks due to death from gun violence. It really pulled me to the book because of this because i recognized some of the actions and feeling but it could be too much for some.
