PLOT & PACING
This book is a masterclass in slow-drip suspense. Every chapter tightens the mystery, teasing just enough truth to keep you guessing—and then flipping everything on its head. It’s impossible to put down, and once Rachel reappears, so does every single question you thought you had answered.

CHARACTER & VOICE
Pip’s growth is the heartbeat of this book. She’s not the same girl from AGGGTM—she’s seen too much, and it shows. Her relationship with Ravi deepens, and the emotional toll of solving these cases starts to surface. The stakes feel personal, and that makes everything hit harder.

STYLE & ATMOSPHERE
Holly Jackson’s signature blend of fast-paced storytelling, multimedia flair, and dark humor is still here—but with more emotional weight. The atmosphere is tense, but layered with grief, anger, and moral conflict.

THEMES & DEPTH
Good Girl, Bad Blood digs into who gets attention when they go missing—and who doesn’t. It’s a pointed, timely take on media bias and justice, woven into a gripping mystery that still leaves room for Pip’s internal battle.

PERSONAL TAKE
This sequel does not disappoint. It goes deeper, hits harder, and proves Holly Jackson isn’t just writing twisty thrillers—she’s writing smart, urgent commentary wrapped in suspense. I loved it and I’m not ready to say goodbye to Pip just yet.
