A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson Book Review

  A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson Book Review  A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson. I picked this book up at Target because it was 20% off a few weeks ago, and I just can't ever turn down a book that's on sale. It sat on my bookshelf for a few weeks, and I just picked it up the other day to start reading it. Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. A lot of times, I feel like I'm growing out of the young adult genre; they're just a little too simple to read. But this one was so freaking good; I literally could not stop reading it every second that I had the chance to.

Pippa decides that she wants her senior project to focus on re-examining some clues from a m...

And like my friend told me, it was way more insane than the show was.  But before we dive too deep into what I actually thought about the book, let's go ahead and give you a little bit of a summary just in case, for some reason, you haven't heard of the show or the book, or you've just been living under a rock or whatever. So "You" is told from the viewpoint of Joe Goldberg, a 20-something guy living in New York that manages a bookstore. He quickly becomes obsessed with this girl named Gwynefer Beck after she comes into the bookstore. And through social media and all of the other technological tools that we have available to us today, he starts stalking her.  And I mean, not just creeping on her old Instagram pics...
