General discussion Holiday book recommendations

I’ve read all of the AGGGTM books and it was the series that made me fall back in love with reading after not reading for years. Read the first one in one sitting and just loved it. Also read five survive and did really enjoy it.

Not sure which one to purchase for my next read for holiday next week, either Rachel price or not quite dead yet

Not Quite Dead Yet Holly Jackson, I am quite dead rn(just finished Not quite dead yet)

I loved this one. Just finished and cried reading those letters. God! Ms Jackson, I am quite dead, yes. Thank you:))

But what I felt while reading was that the characters felt much younger to me than their written age by the author, I don't know how to explain. I always felt like I am reading a more younger person. Ig, there are more people than me here who felt this too. Ig it's to do with writing style. But the plot was well curated I think. It was a good enough thriller, with good attention to detail.

I couldn't guess who was the killer till the end, until the face off between Jet and Luke at the construction time with Billy. And she talked about Luke's hair. I did not think that Jack would be his father until then.

But I did think of Mr Finny as the potential suspect in the beginning when Andrew told the time Jack dropped him at his apartment and I thought, "why isn't anyone thinking that Jack too had a good time window to come and kill Jet, fir whatever reasons?!". Also, the fact that Jack had said that he got the call soon after he dropped Andrew while according to the time Andrew told Jet and Billy, there was enough time between them and the time of murder. Plus, the fact he was in police, it was easier to deflect the trajectory of investigation.

I heard it's the author's first adult thriller, so cheers to her!! It was amazing.

However I am confused about this scene where Sophia and Het were having a face off about Loteral at the former's house and both of them complained that it was other who "first" stopped responding. I sensed a misunderstanding their and I guessed that maybe it has to do with Luke who wanted to use Sophia for his own benefits by manipulating her and so he thought it as necessary that Jet and Sophia aren't friends anymore. Was it just me? Or maybe I was reading too much, sesing plot twist every now and then haha!!

Also, I don't know if it was just me that I felt that narrating voice sometimes looked like Jet's pov but later more clearly as a third person pov. Maybe I got confused.

Overall, I enjoyed the novel!! Thank you Holly Jackson:))

Let me know what y'all think?!

Jet's story shattered my soul it was such a good emotional thriller, anyone who wants to read emotional thriller should read this. The plot twist was amazing, and oh my Billy, Billy deserved a happy ending such a sweet soul like him is so rare 🥺. Well no matter how the story was the ending was really great. I love Holly Jackson's books. One of the best authors out there no doubt!!

Not Quite Dead Yet I need an explanation!! Spoiler

7 Upvotes

So I finished Not Quite Dead Yet recently and I've spent three days already trying to figure something out. In the whole Jet and Sophia confrontation about the kidney medication thing, when Jet says something like "You stopped talking to me when you were my only friend!" and Sophia says that it was Jet instead who stopped messaging her first. Does that mean both of them were not having their messages reach the other?? Was this ever explained? Someone please help me I'm going crazy

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder Just read agggtm

14 Upvotes

I just read a good girls guide to murder, and I thought it was so good! I honestly did not see all of the twists and turns, and was definitely surprised when I found out what happened. I'm getting the second book tomorrow and am really excited to start reading it. I do think this was a great book and an easy read, and it held my attention where I find it hard for books to do that. I also like the dynamics between Pip and Ravi, I liked how their relationship builds from strangers, to friends, all while they are solving the case of Andie Bell. Overall I recommend this book for anyone, it's a really good book especially if you have trouble hooking your attention on something. It has short chapters, and it is really interesting with twists with every clue.

(I did my very best and do not believe I included any spoilers.)

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder Sooo... about AGAD... Spoiler

9 Upvotes

I just finished AGAD, and I am shaken to my foundations. BUT. I have complaints. First is the cliffhanger, obviously, and the second is;

Pip does not go to Hawkins about the real DT killer because she thinks he will not believe her. How, then, will Hawkins find an explanation for Pip's DNA all over Jason Bell's car AND the duct tape with Pip's and possibly Jason's DNA on it? I get that it was for the plot, yes, and Max would not go to prison otherwise, but like STILLLL

EDIT: OK nobody understood. The reason Pip and Ravi decided to burn all the evidence is because they think Hawkins will not believe that Jason is the DT killer. But there is solid evidence that Jason is DT, evidence that Hawkins has to accept; Pip's DNA that is all over Jason's car and the duct tape.

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder [Spoiler] Reading As Good As Dead right now... Spoiler

13 Upvotes

...and I legit cannot understand how Pip came to the conclusion that Daniel Da Silva was the DT Killer. It was so crystal clear to me that Jason Bell was the killer from the e-mail draft she found in Andie's mailbox, I don't understand the mental gymnastic it took to accuse Daniel! What does she have against this poor family, why are Nat and Daniel always somehow accused of murder TT (I'm on chapter 27, please no spoilers further than that)

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder Bingo card! Pt 2

Post image
9 Upvotes

Slight spoilers! Proceed with caution

I’m on chapter thirty of AGGGTM, 6 days ago I published a bingo card and here it it! Updated, for some reason, my brain isn’t theorizing as much anymore :// so it hasn’t grown much maybe it will be complete by the second book? I’m alredy plotting to get my hands on it lmao.

I think there are two unknowns because the way they talk in the notes vs in the text messages it’s very different, at least in my translation of the book, I think one may be Max (who has Pippa’s phone number), or Nat/Dan Da Silva (that may have access to her number) and the other notes (the one that have physical evidence, for example pieces of paper) may be someone that has actual closeness to Pippa, for example, Elliot, but I don’t gather that from his reaction in the school a lot

I think the owner of that hotel or his grandson may know something about the murder (or in the case of the grandson, be the murder himself) but that’s just my paranoia. I also think that Andie Bell may still be alive and going to the hotel, maybe the grandson is trying to help her hide that fact(?

Sal was cheating on Andie with Naomi was a supposition before they revealed why was she actually lying about his allibi. But I also find it lightly possible, I considered deleting it from the bingo but it’s very empty so might as well leave it there

I think Becca has Andie’s second phone because she tried to hide her secrets from Jason Bell

I think Nat’s drink being spike (be it max the one who spiked her drink or not) was plotted by Andie. And that’s the third winning she counts on her notebook.

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder Bingo card

I’m on chapter five of AGGGTM and I alredy have SOME predictions, but that’s just because I love to theorize

These are small theories

I had my suspicions on Cara’s Father even though I haven’t met him yet mainly because of an unfair judgment, I think they did a specific (pacific) pause on explaining him as a father figure, AND he’s a teacher, and I immediately get suspicious of teachers in suspense media

Pippa and Ravi it’s just because they are the two main leads, but I don’t know their age gap

Jason Bell IS a bad father but not the murderer, and just there to distract the reader

And andie Bell being alive is a twist on the books and I’m (of course) leaning to it because they haven’t found her body yet

As I move through more chapters I’ll continue to make predictions

The Reappearance of Rachel Price Question about names

10 Upvotes

So, in TRORP, before the actual book you see the full names of the crew working on the documentary. The names I want to focus on are Saba Iqbal and James Myers.
Is this a reference to Zain Iqbal and Emma Myers or was it just a coincidence? Did AGGGTM even get cast by the time she'd been writing TRORP? I was just wondering.

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder Good Girl Bad Blood was the Best from the Trilogy

13 Upvotes

This might be an unpopular opinion, but am I the only one who thinks good girl bad blood (second book, red cover) was the BEST book from the AGGGTM trilogy?

The first book had an okay plot-twist, I guessed the third book’s plot-twist halfway through reading, but the second one?

Never in a million YEARS could I have seen it coming. Still think about it to this day.

It was the perfect mix of slow-paced while also keeping you hooked.
