A review by veronicathompson
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
4.0
*Spoiler*
Every review I read was about how amazing this book was - now don't get me wrong, I was intrigued and read it quickly and I really enjoyed the book -BUT as much as I didn't know what the twists were I knew they we're coming and there was going to be lots of them. It also gave off Pretty Little Liar's vibes which made it feel more predictable - especially with the twist of Andie being alive (which turned out not to be Andie... but I still think she's alive, I guess I will find out in book 2).
Andie very much felt like Alison (mean girl killed, family ends up being involved). Maybe I just find highschoolers solving murders to be unrealistic but hey, it makes great books and TV.
I did buy book 2 (and book 3) and I'm excited to read them but I'm not itching.
