Good Girl, Bad Blood

I actually like this one more than the first book in the series.

Okay, I wasn't expecting it. I have never thought I would cry over a character whom I disliked in my reading of the first book of Pip. Like seriously Stan bloody Forbes. Initially, I thought it was Charlie Green, the new character, who was Child Brunswick. But it was someone else actually.

The twists and turns, it was quite an unexpected journey. Many times, I thought that I had cracked it but then comes another twist with roller-coaster emotions.

And is it me only who thinks Pip is going to go the dark path in the third book? Especially the ending line regarding the gun being always there with her. Well, I'm excited and slightly terrified as well regarding the upcoming journey of Pip in her third book.

3.5 stars

I'm quite disappointed tbh. This was nothing like the first book. I didn't recognise any of the characters. They were all so different from AGGGTM.. and there wasn't done enough to make all their development believable.

I also didn't like the mystery in this installment. The ending was all over the place. And it was kind of Agatha Christie-esque in that sense that there was no way for the reader to figure out the culprit.

Furthermore, I missed the overall feeling I got from the first book. There weren't many scenes set in school and Pippa didn't really interact with friends or family in Good Girl, Bad Blood.

To end on a positive note, I really enjoyed the podcast element. And one of the character's birthday is June 7 which is my birthday, too. So that was cool ;)
