"If you haven’t read a Good Girl’s Guide to Murder yet and plan on reading the series, this is the perfect book for you to start with! It’s a fun book on prior events that occurred before the first book/series. It’s on a party and the friends are trying to solve a Mystery Murder Game. Holly Jackson never disappoints! #teen&YA #drama #comedy #mystery #fiction"

"3.5⭐ Mystery isn't my preferred genre, but every now and again I find one I enjoy. I read AGGGTM like a year ago and absolutely loved it, but found the second book to be so slow paced. I haven't even tried to start the third book yet, but I randomly pulled this novella off my shelf the other night and decided to give it a try, hoping it might pull me back into Pip's world and get me psyched to finally pick up the final book of the series. This was a fun, short read, and I'm definitely glad I decided to read it, but I agree with Pip that the answer to the mystery was way too simple. Worth checking out if you like AGGGTM!"

"🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 This was such a fun little read to see the characters in a low stress situation. At only 117 pages, it truly was a good representation of how life was for Pip before she got into all the Stevie Bell mess."
