5.0
A solid novella that gives us a chance to jump back into the AGGGTM world and reveals how Pip was inspired to choose the murder of a local girl as her senior project.
It was nice to get to be able to be with all of these characters again and see the "hints" that allude to the future events in books 1-3. I'm now feeling the urge to re-read the series!
I almost gave this 4 stars because I was so let down at the "murderer reveal" - but after some thought, I can see how that was purposeful and added to our beloved Pip's inspiration.
Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin Random House for a copy of this e-ARC in exchange for my honest review!
