This month I read a book called A Good Girls Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson. I have not finished reading this book yet and I am currently on page 128. This book is about a girl named Pip who is trying to solve a mystery. There was a crime scene a couple years ago and it contained this girl named Andie Bell and Sal Singh. Apparently Sal Singh killed his girlfriend, Andie Bell, and then killer himself after guilt. Pip is trying to figure out the ending to this mystery and while she is going along with her project she keeps finding al these minds of secrets that are being unfolded. While she is trying to find the answers someone she doesn’t know doesn’t like how she is trying to solve this mystery, and now Andie could possibly be in danger.
There were many reasons why I liked this book, let me list my reasons. The first reason why I loved this book so much is because I love how in every chapter something very mysterious happens. I feel like in some other books I will just be reading it and nothing interesting happens and I start to get bored and not want to read the book anymore. So every time I read this book I always want to read more and I don’t just get bored in the middle of the book. Another reason why I loved this book is because it gets me scared sometimes. What I’m trying to say is that sometimes I will read a chapter and in that chapter in one line where I just look up shocked. I get so scared sometimes where I feel like I’m going to have nightmares but I don’t actually.
My favorite character is Pip and the character trait I chose for her is perseverance. I chose this work because Pip keeps on trying in her investigation and never gives up. “Stop digging, Pippa.” (Page 99) I chose this quote for my character trait because when she was camping she got a note that said this and she thought one of her friends did it but eventually discovers that it wasn’t them and it was a person she didn’t know trying to get in the way of her investigation. This made Pip very concerned and she even did the opposite of what the note told her to do. She kept having interviews with people and kept trying to get more information.
My favorite quote from this book is, “ I need to call Ravi.” (Page 87) This quote is meaningful to me because it shows me how close Pip and Ravi are together even though they have gone through their ups and downs. Even though they got into a fight in the beginning of a book they still are really close friends.
