My thoughts; 
This one was SO GOOD !! I finished it a month ago and the finale of agggtm is even better then the 1st and 2nd book 😭😭😭🩶 it completely devoured me in and that's when I realized I was binging it !! This book is a type that'll make you stay awake until you finish this one. Holly's writing definitely improved from " A Good girls guide to murder " to this one, and if i had to say... this one did gave me goosebumps. Legit!! The plot twist is not at all predictable and it was so well written!! I loved pips character development as well as Ravi's- Romance is probably described tiny miny in this book and again Holly never disappoints 🩶🩶 
Over all, I would definitely recommend this one A THOUSAND TIMES and  " A good girls guide to murder " to " Good girl bad blood " to " As good as dead " they were all so well written!! 
Would recommend ( read this series ) 
★★★★★ [ if I can, I would give it a thousand stars a thousand times. ] 
( legit obsessed with this book and Holly's writing )

Woah what an ending! I was very attached to this series and a bit overwhelmed with this finale.. This book consists of two "unofficial" halfs. In the first half Pip deals with herself and what happened in the past
which includes her having panic attacks, being dependent on drugs for her sleep and being  a traumatized teenager.
. This part was very realistic but also very hard to get through. Pip tries to deal with everything by herself and shuts down her honest relationships.

Half way through, this whole coin flips and the pacing starts picking up. I really can´t tell you what´s about to happen but it´s intense and quite disturbing. We still get the most lovely interactions between Ravi and Pip which melts my heart just thinking about it. I really liked the topics that were indirectly questioned like morality and justice.

I´ll keep it short: I was really suprised by the twists, turns and details, maybe it was a little bit crazy but I guess that´s the vibe. Didn´t loved reading the beginning because of the topics which made it hard to get into the book but overall enjoyed it!

This book was just crazy. Especially the second half of the book. The AGGGTM title fits perfectly to the storyline and honestly it was such a rollercoaster. I can't believe the ending though, that hurt a lot, but it was such an amazing story. This is definitely my favourite book in the series
