I loved the mystery and way the book was going through the first 2/3, thinking it was up there in 4.5 star range. However, the last 1/3 of the book became a bit toooooo wild with all the twists and secrets & went into completely unbelievable terrain (even for a story like this) in my opinion. There was also no reason for this book to be 430 pages - there was so much repetition throughout that they could have easily cut 75 pages from the book. Still had fun reading, but after AGGGTM #3 and now this one letting me down I might be done with Holly Jackson.. If you liked A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, you will still probably have a good time reading this one, but it certainly doesn't stack up to AGGGTM #1/#2 in my opinion.
