A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

I was so invested in this story and main characters that I managed to read this book in mostly one sitting. Pip was such an enjoyable protagonist and I loved her type A personality and it made me reflect on my time as a student and made me miss academia. The reason I couldn't give this book 5 stars was partially because I guessed part of the twist pretty early on, so instead of an ‘OMG' twist it was more of ‘I knew it!' moment. I think aging up the characters would have lended to a more high stakes outcome as it felt at time pretty unbelievable the risks a 17 year old was willing to take. Also the amount of time it took characters to literally reveal all their deepest darkest secrets after very little probing from Pip, further added to the unbelievability of the story. Overall, this is a highly recommended read and I will be continuing the trilogy.
