As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson
4.0
3.5 stars
Note: Goodreads was glitching a lot while I was writing this review, so there might be some typos (I've tried to correct most of them).
Surprisingly, this wasn't as awesome as I thought it would be but it wasn't terrible either.
And we have a ton of pages where Pip sniffs multiple times in a single sentence.
In my opinion, Pip just became worse in this book.

Ravi sort of just stayed the same. And I loved him!
But Pip's relationship with Ravi?
I don't know, there were like one or two Ravi and Pip moments in [b:Good Girl, Bad Blood|51335759|Good Girl, Bad Blood (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, #2)|Holly Jackson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1588319723l/51335759._SY75_.jpg|68488803], but in this one they were just super emotional and stuff all of a sudden. Like crying together and - it felt like it just popped up out of nowhere.
It was a good mystery though. Like I said in my review of [b:A Good Girl's Guide to Murder|40916679|A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, #1)|Holly Jackson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1545494980l/40916679._SY75_.jpg|63791847], this book is also one of those murder mysteries where you can't ignore even one tiny detail if you want to find out who did it. I can't say that I understood the whole thing completely though.
So overall, I can't say that I loved this, but I didn't hate it either. I really enjoyed [b:A Good Girl's Guide to Murder|40916679|A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, #1)|Holly Jackson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1545494980l/40916679._SY75_.jpg|63791847] and [b:Good Girl, Bad Blood|51335759|Good Girl, Bad Blood (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, #2)|Holly Jackson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1588319723l/51335759._SY75_.jpg|68488803], so I'm a little sad that this is the final book in the series!
