A great prequel to a fantastic series that isn’t necessary but still a good read for fans of the books. Age 14+

So if anyone was wondering the reading order, this DEFINITELY comes after the series. It kinda assumes you’ve already read the series (I’ve now read it before and after the rest of the books)

Anyway it’s just a cute little murder mystery novella. Nothing that special just provides insight on the rest of the series (which is that special)

It’s a fun little story telling how we ended up at A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder. I really like Holly Jackson’s style, one of my new favourite author.

Only Holly Jackson would have the skill to make a lighthearted murder mystery party such an engaging story. Such a fun addition to the GGGTM series

I love this book with my whole heartttt it was such a quick read and THIS THIS book is one of the reasons now why I love the agggtm series. I loved pip in this book and the murder mystery party was so well set up!! 
I never could've guessed HE was the killer- pippas points were so valid and I could kinda understand about her not wanting to be wrong, academic validation makes us think that? 
Eitherway the book was VERY fast paced and I finished it in 2 hours in one sitting, and the characters were somewhat loveable I guess, I love Cara and pips yk 'friendship' girl bffs really are the besttt and I HATED ant so freaking much I hated his character in agggtm, good girl bad blood, and in as good as dead and now kill joy 😭 he's the type of character you wish you could punch by his 'funny' dialogs, and Lauren was somewhat very pick me imo, anyways that's it I'm not gonna go very deep into why she's a pick or the other characters😭 
Totally recommend it was easily a 
★★★★★
