A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

3.0

I had a lot of hope for this book since I heard so many good things about it, but then it just kind of fell flat to me. I was really invest in the very beginning and the very end of the book. But the middle really felt like it dragged on. I did enjoy all of the characters throughout the story and all of the side plots that happened to pop up. I also really enjoyed the writing style of being in first and in third person. The switching back and forth of the perspectives was interesting to me. There was a decent amount of profanity in it, which I felt was kind of useless especially since it is YA and there were some topics that could be triggering to some if you don’t know they are in there. If your teen is the one reading this book, I would recommend reading it before hand as there is talk about drugs, drinking, etc. Overall, it was a nice book, but it doesn’t have me necessarily reaching for another Holly Jackson book.
