(i will dedicate this post to all of the good girl's--and innocent boys--by not really capitalizing or punctuating anything--if you read the book you'd understand my subtle reasonings)
i thought about buying this book on several occasions never actually followed through too focused on straight-forward romances and the ya/novel version of the classic rom-com
but my boss was raving about this book a few weeks ago and told me to read it read it i did
and let me just say...holy fucking hell...read this please
["the case is closed. five years ago, schoolgirl andie bell was murdered by sal singh. the police know he did it. everyone in town knows he did it.
but having grown up in the same small town that was consumed by the murder, pippa fitz-amobi isn't so sure. when she chooses the case as the topic for her final year project, she starts to uncover secrets that someone in town desperately wants to stay hidden. and if the real killer is still out there, how far will they go to keep pip from the truth?"]not only does it tackle a perfectly accurate description of an overachieving, highly intelligent, good girl it tackles topics such as drug use in high school (almost minor stuff) to pretty major crim-related topics like racial profiling (ex: calling a poc a 'monster' whereas calling a white person 'misunderstood' even if the white persons crime is/was far worse)
TRIGGER WARNINGS: suicide, murder, violence, rape, suicide attempts, self-harming, drug use, date-rape drugs, threats, death, racism, sexism, lies, bullying, blackmail
off to read the sequel: good girl, bad blood
