hello everyone! today i am going to be talking about kill joy by holly jackson. i gave this book 4/5 stars. this was honestly a cute book and i did really like this story and it was just so fun. but, this review is going to be shorter since i don’t have to much to say on this book, since it is a shorter book.
i think my favorite part of this book is that we get to see how pip picked her project for her epq and how she got to the sal and andie case to do, and she always wasn’t this girl obsessed with the murder. and i mean, in agggtm they never really say how she got to this topic, so i think seeing it in here was so cool.
and also that this just tried to push her more and more and to prove that she could look at the different clues different then her friends saw everything. and i think that it was just so cool to see how it all unraveled and to see her become the pip that we know today. and i think that her character development was just so good. seeing that when this came out we already read book 1 and 2, that jackson could kind of break her down, to show how she developed from kill joy to agggtm then to ggbb. and i think it was just so cool.
and i also really liked that this book only took place in one night. like, i feel like if this took place in one more than one day it would honestly feel like of off and it wouldn’t work as well as one night. and plus we get to see everything kind of revealed as the characters find the clues around the house. and it was just so cool that it took place in a matter of hours.
i also liked how this book was so short. like, i don’t feel like did what it needed to do and didn’t draw out more of this book. since, i feel like so many authors would’ve tried to make it a full length novel, so i feel like it being taken in a matter of hours, was just so cool and having it be a short book worked so much for it.
and i also think it was just so cool to see all the friends together. like, i think the biggest thing that i really liked was seeing how this is going to change as we get farther and farther through this series, since i know that they all don’t get along that well. so, i honestly really liked seeing them all get along, or as much as they could. so, i think it was just cool to see how they all interacted.
i also really liked the whole murder mystery party. like, i think it is just so cool and i think that it was just so fun to see it all happen. and especially to see jackson still tie them all together to the murder mystery plot in the other books. and i think it was just so cool to see it all happen.

i also really liked elliot’s reaction to seeing ravi. like, obviously with knowing that he killed sal, i think it was just so cool to see what he did with seeing ravi walking the street. and i like that it is kind of this little easter egg for fans of the books and that have already read agggtm. and it honestly was so cool since in agad we got to see things kind of come full circle, so this was even more cool and special.
anyway, that is all for today! i honestly really liked this book, and i honestly wish that there was more ravi, but i mean, him and pip weren’t friends yet, so it is understandable that he wasn’t in here. but, i still think that this book was really good and cute. and i love the whole murder mystery party vibe.
