As a fangirl of the "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" series, I absolutely adored this book. Initially, I expected the book to be a sequel to the series but only realized it was a prequel at the end. Throughout the story, I understood how Pip came to decide on her Capstone Project and it was an intriguing story filled with plot twists and hidden clues. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book and thank you, Holly Jackson, for writing this masterpiece.

no rating given. This was a great read1 I love the way the author described the two lives. Recommended!

Anyone who likes horror/fiction.. this book is for you. Welcome to sleepless nights

Just as amazing as the last one. The ending was pretty good and it doesn't leave me too desperate for a third book. there was a few plot holes that will most likely be more traveled if she ever makes a third book. Such as The Ghost being a tree, and the whole plot line with Nicasia and the Undersea. Holly Black never misses.

I loved this book. The main character and her devlopment in the book is amazing and the way the book is written is very mature yet very realistic in term of the world we live in. I also like the MMC character development as well and being able to hate him and like him all at once.

I really enjoyed reading this book and learning about how Lara Jean devolps as a person and as a character and the relationships she is able to form and the ability to be able to fix broken bonds from her childhood friends and family. It helped me devolp amongst Lara Jean and I really enjoyed it.

I love this book. It gives courage to DV victims and gives them a powerful reason to leave.

I was putting off this book for a long time because I felt like I wouldn't like it, but once I finally started reading, I couldn't stop. I loved everything from the unusual plot to well-thought out characters and fell in love with the story. The ending was absolutely incredible and I just want to thank Lynn Painter for this amazing of a story. This book is a masterpiece.

Thought-provoking set of three interconnected stories exploring ethical dilemmas, personal choices, and their far-reaching consequences in our modern world. Through compelling characters and intricate narratives, Mukherjee challenges readers to confront complex issues such as climate change, global poverty, and racial dynamics, creating a brilliant yet unsettling moral maze.

4 stars (originally 3.5 stars, but I changed my mind) As I said in my initial review, the author paints out scenes like laying paint on a canvas. I made sure to update my goodreads notes as I went along for this journey to know what to say. I originally rated this book 5 stars, it then went down to 3.5 for a few reasons: - Too many characters to keep track of, I felt it could’ve been slimed down a bit or instead make note of characters. (For example, not saying to take Morgana out, but mention her as Alex’s ex-wife and note some differences and reasons they divorced.) - The interrogations felt a bit like casual conversations, not so much as a police officer hard on getting information. Even at that it felt like Alex got too much credit at times even though it felt like surrounding characters did more work. - It felt that sometimes things were drawn out a bit or just slow, I felt that way with part 1. Other than those reasons I really did enjoy the book. The killer’s POV and life story really grabbed me. Honestly I felt that the story could’ve been from their POV the entire time or took up most of the book. At times I felt that there were things added for shock value, but the end (specifically part 4) tied it together for me and really made me like how this killer was written. This book as a whole is definitely differe from other thrillers. The characters are interesting and the motives are intriguing. I do plan on reading “The Rocks” by this author soon. Thank you to Celadon Books and Bookish First for an ARC of this book!
