I’m sooo happy you liked A Good Girls Guide To Murder!! It was the first thriller/ murder mystery I have ever read and I loved it!! The second and third books in the series are amazing too!! By the end of the trilogy you will be so attached to the characters. Holly Jackson has another book that just came out called five survive. It was good and is worth a read but compared to her other books it’s not as good in my opinion. Hope you have an amazing Valentine’s Day!!❤❤😊

The first book of a good girls guide to murder was good but not amazing for me but I was invested so I read the second and third. Those two are significantly better (and darker) I felt like pip and the side characters were a bit 1-dimensional for me but Holly Jackson really fleshed everyone out in the later books, I loved how pip developed and the way the author depicted her trauma was disturbing and devastating and I definitely understand how she ended up the way she did. OH AND I ALSO LOVE THE PARALLELS SHE MADE BETWEEN ANDIE AND SAL WITH PIP AND RAVI IN THE LATER BOOKS. one thing I didn’t like however was how random pip and ravi’s relationship felt in the first and second book, but in the third I really like the way she wrote them, I don’t know how to describe it without spoilers BUT IT WAS GOOD. the series as a whole isn’t realistic at all but it was enjoyable, a faced paced read and emotional read. Edit: Also the things that seem cliche and out of place all tie together in the second and third books which I really like.

I tried The Kingdom of Little Wounds. I didn't make it past the first fifty pages. I didn't like how bodily it was written and it made me uncomfortable. My worst book of the year though was Fierce Fairytales by Nikita Gill. There was some good stuff in there. A handful of poems and stories. such as seven, a story from the perspectives of the seven drawfs but as sins, and through them it showed the truth of Snow White's relationship to the prince. And the poems and stories also showed all perspectives. So you would get Cinderella's and then you would get the stepmother and the stepsisters, showing how they got to where they were and why they treated Cinderella the way they did. But it did read very much like a first draft. A series of ideas and plans instead of fully realised poems and stories. And as a result the collection fell flat and unremarkable.

I kind of also had BIG expectations of "She and her cat" BECAUSE of the creators like former works but I was so disapointed. Like the first cat almost gives us a voyeuristic view of his owner which I wasn't there for low-key, I also feel like the stories were so short I barely cared for anyone besides the pov charas. The side charas were almost non-existent which to me made their correlation with the mcs even more pointless. Plus what they did to Reina and it felt like it was SO FAST, like she wasn't almost SA-ed in her OWN HOME, it almost felt like they rushed passed it. I really wanted to enjoy it but it stayed on the 3/5 for me ONLY because Mimi, Cookie and Shino were my everything lol (Miyu felt a bit bland too me, Chobi... well, John was kind of a weird one for me, Reina was frustrating because of art school flashbacks as I HAD classmates like Reina and hated it lol I DID like her thought just not as much, Aoi I wished had been a bit more fleshed out but then again... that is the issue with this book, EVERYONE needed fleshing out)... Personally I think they could have wrote 4 novellas and actually put development into those charas, specially the humans.
