Very quick and enjoyable. it was nice to see pip not being absolutely traumatized for once, and to see what made her decide on investigating andie bell’s death. all around just very fun.

AKA a good girls guide on how to get away with murder

every book in this series had me on the edge of my seat, but none quite as intensely as this. jackson completely flipped the murder mystery formula on its head and had the audience completely worrying that things may not work out for pip. truly just brilliant.

all of these characters are delightfully insufferable. while i am not sure if that was the intent, i loved hating them. i do miss the days when joe killed more people.

Far too slow moving for too little payoff. I only avoided a DNF because everyone said the ending was so spectacular and, while it was more enticing than the rest of the book, not enough to save it.
