A Good Girl's Guide to Murder
by Holly Jackson
TRIGGER WARNINGS AT THE END, SPOILERS
So I wake up this morning with a throat so sore, I can’t even swallow. That means I’m not going to school. So I open Goodreads and I scroll, and I see someone give this book a glowing review. My mind takes me back to April 2020 when I bought the audiobook of this, and DNF’ed shortly after. I open Audible, and scroll through my audiobooks to see this book, which I was about 30% maybe 40% into. My brain says, “yes, let’s listen.” So now, here I am about 6 hours later, my mind blown into a thousand pieces by this book.
This was amazing. One of the best books I’ve read all year in fact! This book almost reminded me of the feeling Truly Devious gave me, back when I read it last April. I was shocked by all the twists. The suspects always added and deduced, and the case change so frequently my guesses were always changing.
There was only one thing I was absolutely sure of in the end, and that was a pretty minor thing. Overall, this was so great. I loved Pippa, her friends, and of course Ravi (idk how to spell names as i listened to this on audio, sorry!) Who was like a human golden retriever.
TRIGGER WARNINGS
Drugs, violence, murder, death, references to sexual assault/rape, references to suicide, addiction, drug dealing, death threats, and of course, men being trash.
