A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

5.0

Easy 5/5. There were a lot of lovable characters with backstories and unique personalities. The plot was moving fast, and it was impossible to put it down at some points. I was so into trying to solve the case together with Pip and Ravi, and I felt smart too, even though I was wrong almost the entire book. The relationship between the two main characters felt realistic, not fake or forced. Both of them seem genuine and real, and it was easy to relate to them.

I especially enjoyed reading through the entry logs and messages and how clever they were. It felt like an authentic Word document. I like that everyone had their own secrets and things to fight for, and I like the way each character tried to protect not only themselves but also their loved ones.

I wish we got more from Sal's life since he seemed like such a nice and kind person, and I would love to read more about his relationship with his brother and his friends. I'm glad we got to at least help him out a bit at the end.

The last few chapters were amazing, tense, and full of secrets, misdirections, and emotions, and I couldn't stop reading until I finished the book. I can't wait to read the second one!
