I like how she is not just telling us the story but also is giving her opinions and reactions without spoiling the next thing in the book like awesome
Omg jason bell being pips first person of interest is CRAZYYYY after reading the next 2 books
It acc rly is, I did not expect him to be the DT Killer, although smt felt off abt him from the very start, I don't think anyone was expecting the ending of As Good As Dead
RIGHT!?
Ikr
@@xxcandyplayzxx156 FR... but honestly something always felt off like you said. I never liked him lmao. In the series, the only person I hated more than Max Hastings was Jason Bell lmao
**SPOILERS FOR GOOD GIRL BAD BLOOD AND AS GOOD AS DEAD***
i cried so hard while reading when charlie confronted pip and stanley. I truly believe he didnt deserve his life to be treated like this, because he helped with the murders as a 10yo who was scared that his own dad would kill him. I was ugly crying, and now everytime i see the name “stanley” i cry or get teary eyed. Especially anytime in AGAD it mentions the flash backs of stanleys blood 😭😭😭
Omg me too like I was sorta thinking oh this book isn’t as good as the start like it doesn’t have the hook that the first book did and as soon as I got to the point where they find the knife I was like aghhhhh so good
no but also i kinda feel like people also dislike charlie too much for some reason... i also felt bad for him cuz like imagine playing with someone on the playground and then your sister goes missing and dies.. when you're 8 years old.
I always thought it was strange how easy Pip forgave Becca for everything. Yes I feel bad about her being r word and she didn’t mean to kill Andi on purpose but girl it was FIVE years even if she felt guilty she didn’t feel guilty enough to come clean till AFTER she got caught in the act by Pip and when the cops found out. Plus girlie DRUGGED pip and literally would have actually killed her on purpose if it wasn’t for Ravi and Pips father.
Yeah I found that weird too like yes Becca has been through something traumatic but she almost killed Pip!
@@meghangaddisreads I feel bad for Becca with her struggles with being r worded and she tired to unalive herself. Now I get why we hate max and Eliot they suck and are trash. But Pip seem to make it sound like Becca came clean when really she just confirmed she killed/let andi die but she didn’t come clean to AFTER she was caught
This trilogy is one of the best I've ever read is what I would say if I read the third book. The second book is the only book that has actually scared me and I loved it so much but I'm so scared to read the third one but I think I'm finally ready to finish this masterpiece
Did you read it
THE 3RD ONE IS THE SCARIEST!!!!!! omg the printer and speakers scene…. 😵💫
lol the 3rd is definitely the scariest
43:40 That's exactly what I was thinking. I have yet to read the two sequels and hope Pip is less naive.
I finish the third book last night and yeh pip perspective has change dramatically(also if my man ain't like Ravi I don't want him😔)
It’s amazing writing how pip thinks Elliot is secret older guy for like a second then denied it for him to be secret older guy
this video is so useful i read the first book over a year ago and im finally gonna read the second but i forgot literally everything so i love this 🖤 also the way you describe the situations is just perfect for my brain
Ty sm for this I completely forgot what happened this book and want to read the second one and now I can :)
Thank you so much for the video. Now i can start the second book remembering everything😊
Thank you so much for this video! I had finished the book but I needed to write a lot of stuff down for a school project and forgot everything so this was very useful!!
45 minutes long of explaining agggtm is CRAZYY but ty
Lol just wait for as good as dead I have a feeling that one will be even longer hahahah
I'm so glad you posted this video! I read the 1st book in 2023 (and already forgot like, the name of the side character and stuff 😂) I just got the other two volumes, and really wanted to get the important things refreshed in my mind to read them ❤
Thank you for filling the content void for this series. After reading the books, you still want more haha. Thank you!
Hey please give the summary of the other books in this series as soon as possible. You explain the story in a amazing way
Thank you! I’m working on book two now!
@@meghangaddisreads oh really thanks a lot Meghan
Yes Stanley meeting howie becomes important
YESS i know its not healthy but i cry (like UGLY cry) whenever i see stanleys name! He only helped with the murders because he was a 10yo who was scared of his own dad 😭😭😭
@@adorexpeytonhelp
omg i had to make a mini vlog out of this book for school, but i was running out of time because of my exams, your video really helped me out, and i might wanna start to read this serie :)
I am just in the same situation
This series was really good and crazy ! I hope you enjoy the other two books. Also are you going to explain the plots for the rest of the books ?
I’m going to try to do book 2 in May! I’m definitely excited to keep reading because the first one was so good
@meghangaddis8627 hey Megan pls breakdown as good as dead too

Thank you so much for this video, I waited a year between reading book 1 and book 2 and I completely forgot what happened
realll
I love the good girls guide to murder series it was so good one of the series that got me back to reading 😍❤️
Me too! I've been in a reading slump and this book helped pull me back out of it
Perfect I want to read the third one and don’t remember the first super well 🙌🏼
I’ve read everything holly has written! Completely obsessed! Enjoy 5 survive too!!
I read that one and just completed this trilogy so now im just patiently waiting for any new release she has planned lol

sometimes I just I couldn’t figure out who was who because there were so many characters😂
Waaaw.Just reading the book , I really liked how you explaining.
this was my summer reading book thx
omg glad i could help someone in true need of this
this is SO useful cz im running late on a school assignment
I know you gonna love book 2
Excellent break down ❤
OH MY GOSH I JUST FINISHED "AS GOOD AS DEAD" (THE ENDING BROKE ME)
[Spoilers for the trilogy below}
RAVI TEXTING HER THREE MINUTES AFTER THE CASE WAS SO CUTE-AHJSA
ravi is top tier book boyfriend status
Watching this before i read the second book because i forgot what happened in the first xx
hello, I just found your channel, my friends introduced to this book, but I haven't read it yet but know the plotline, I did some comparison to a character I'm currently writing. Have you seen Death note? I was wondering what happens if we replace pip with someone like Near or Mello, if you've seen death note maybe you can make a scenario where Near tries to solve this. Dope crossover tbh.
thank youu i read the first one a year ago and i just got the sequel!
i can’t remember anythingg
I loved this book and have some questions. What was the third victory Andie had over Nat da Silva as referenced in the planner? Does that come into play later? I didn’t watch the whole video, so sorry if you addressed it. Also, near the very end, Pip says there was one secret she would keep forever to protect Cara. What was that? And has no one ever heard of putting passcodes on phones in this book?
1) i think the third victory was nats brother having 53x with andie who was a minor(idk maybe)
11)the secret was the hit and run of naomi (cara's sis)
111) apparently no
seriously or ring cameras
I think the third victory was supplying roofies for Max to drug and r word Nat
Can someone please explain to me HOW Pip figured out that Max roofied and R-worded Becca? Because I feel like that part was just glossed over in the book, which is what brought me here.
Thank you for the well-presented explanation, btw :))
Exactly. How she guessed that becca was r*ped by max and it was becca who killed andie!?
Its because she found out that becca was the last person to see andie and its not Mr ward @@swejalgupta8400
I think it was deductive reasoning. She knew people were getting roofied at the parties and she heard from Jess that Becca had disappeared and 'slept' with someone but did not want to talk about it or claimed to not remember it. That in itself probably made her wonder if Becca had been r worded but at the time it wasn't specifically relevant so the idea was never fully formed or stated. And well Max was the main, if not only one buying the roofies so he would be the first to come to mind in that aspect. So after realizing that Elliot didn't kill her dog and wasn't the one leaving the threats with derogatory language and seeing Becca's face at the back of the car when the Bell family was called to ID the fake Andie, remembering that Becca was the last to see Andie alive it all just sort of clicked. Becca knew Andie was dead and was the last person with her . . . so it stands that maybe she killed her since nothing else made sense. Why would Becca kill Andie? Jess' story of Becca's strange behaviour after the party is suddenly relevant. Becca could have been r-worded at a party and somehow found out that Andie was selling roofies. So I think it was coming to the conclusion that Becca may have killed her sister THEN putting together different info she had on her to come to a plausible motive. So like figuring out Max did that only came from figuring Becca actually was the 'killer'. Deductive reasoning and solving things in reverse. At least that's how it makes sense to me but it's been several months since i last read the book.
can we get a google docs about the 3 books? would love to have it!
i should be doing homework but im watching this as if i haven't read the book like 4 times now loll
Just finished the book, read it starting the 16th of December and finished it dec 26th
does anyone know what chapter pip drinks the drugged tea and ravi and her dad save her?
Very good video ❤
at 27:22 if the photos were posted at 10 pm how could they have been taken past 12 am the next morning?
Can you do a similar thing for 5 survive??
Ok but what happened to Naomi ward
I started the second book from the series and I can’t remember what was that thing that pip did to protect her and cara
And from her going to prison to I think?????
Thanks in advance 🙏☺️
So max naomi and her frnds were drunk long time ago before andies death but max insisted on driving them home even though he was drunk and he hit a man by the car and they thought he was dead and left him there but later found out he was in a coma qnd later was paralysed. Naomi max and others coùld go to jail if police knew about that and apparently the killer knew about that and the killer blackmailed naomi sal and other frnds to change sals alibi qnd to tell the police he left at 10 15 when he actually left at 12 15 .
But pippa finds out about sal leaving at 12 15 by photo posted by max in his false account (idk the name )and the pic showed that it was taken at 12 05 and since there were 4 people at maxs and 3 were in photo it was taken by sal and if pip showed that pic to police as proof to sal alibi naomi could go to jail
So she protected naomi by not using the pics for sals case and cara by not sending her sis to jail since her mum was dead and she'd be all alone
@@whichwitchiswhich9765 ohhh ok thanks!
who was blackmailing them? Elliot?@@whichwitchiswhich9765
pov: your watching this for a project due TOMORROW
have you read the UK version of these books? they’re insane it’s so good
Wait is the UK version different?!
@@meghangaddisreads YES!! the author is originally British and so the UK versions are a lot longer - eg. there’s whole paragraphs of content that are cut out of the USA version.
Also, in the UK books, pip has a cute tendency of spurting random facts that she knows when she gets nervous which isn’t in the American books.
Pip and Ravi also have a cute inside joke thats spans throughout the whole trilogy in the UK books and since it is based off of a common British phrase it is completely cut out of the USA books but it’s pertinent to how they ended up getting close 😭
@@meghangaddisreads if you get a chance, please read the original UK versions of the book, they’re sooo cute and detailed!
But why there's a different version?
we just ned a vid abt all the crimes pip commited
whats fairview? because in my version of the book it takes place in the town little kilton
the us and uk versions are set in two different places
Ye thats pretty good.
did you see that the book is getting adapted to a tv show?
Omg!!! I didn’t know!!!! I’m so excited this would honestly be the perfect show
Yes , emma myers she well be pip ❤
There is just one thing I keep missing from this book. Like, who blackmailed Max, Nanomi ect. into deleting sal's photos in the end? Was is Eliot? and if so, how the hell did he found out about the accident. If someone knows that pls tell me
I believe it's Elliot because he read it in one of Naomi's diaries
It was eliot and eliot came to know about the accident after reading his daughter naomi,s diary she wrote about the accident in her diary and eliot read it
Tysm! I’m doing a book report but what is the climax I’m sorry to bother it’s due tomorrow btw I’m a new sub!!
Same girlie🤭
I’d say the climax is when the “unknown person” forces her to destroy her computer/backups to save barney, but then barney dies anyways. and maybe her fight with Ravi right after
Just watching this video I’m curious too about why Millie and Jake did not make a reappearance…Holly Jackson doesn’t do minor characters really and as far as I know of they do not reappear in any of the books in the trilogy which does seem quite odd looking back now
I think Millie is traveling in Switzerland or somewhere like that and Jake moved away and had a baby
I still ask myself who the Girl was that Said she is andy and why she did. it
They say in the end of the book (us version) that she had a "mental disability and the mental age of 12" and possibly he called her Andy so many times that she got confused. But I wish we knew more about her too :(
Only 26k views?? Only 994 likes??? ARGHHH WHY DOES THE ALGORITHM HIDE SUCH UNDERRATED TH-camRS 👹👹
I hate the use of past tense as evidence. If someone in my life goes missing, I'm screwed. One example is that my paternal grandparents are alive and well. I just dont live with them anymore. So when im talking about them to coworkers, I use the past tense. "My grandpa was such a storyteller. He told me about his time as a volunteer firefighter." Or "my grandma was such a good cook. She always made the best of everything." Sometimes I realize i used the past tense and clarify to whoever im talking to that they're still alive lol. Ive asked my friends and family to go to bat for me if thats ever used against me because that's just how my brain works.
So (having read the whole series and hating what im about to say), Pip had no reason to suspect Jason just based on past tense. She has other reasons, but past tense isn't one. Like imagine you're innocent and your kid is missing. Maybe they havent been in the house for a few days or more. That is a past tense situation. She used to be such a lively member of the house and we hope she will be again. I used to listen to my grandpa's stories, but i dont as often anymore since we live far away. Anyway, just needed to rant bc every time that gets brought up, I think about how im screwed if anyone in my life goes missing😅
Omg i just realisd that the secret 😅
im reading this book wanted some information wht this book is about but pips character is kinda disturbing to me as she goes very deep in things and by your rewiew meghan i understood it even its kinda hard to undertsand for a 12 or 13 year old
Yeah if the first book is disturbing to you I definitely don't recommend continuing the series cause it only gets more intense
No I like it now cuz I finished it and now it's super duperr interesting and ty for telling❤
I’m so confused, Pip lives in Little Kilton? And she’s doing her EPQ?? (1:25)
Details must have been changed adapting the book into the TV show
anyone else here before binging the tv show...
Thankyou sm for this 🫶
💖💖💖
Hi guys, can you please help. I need to know if this book is suitable for my 11 year old?
It has cusses
perhaps for a 13 y.o. but maybe not an 11 y.o
depends on their maturity level and past experience with young adult books
I THOUGHT THE SAMEE ANDIE= ALLISSON
See, Pip has absolutely no instinct for self-preservation. And shes so mean to people, accusing them of murder and stuff on her podcast (books 2 and 3) while also making wild leaps of logic. I hate her so much. Thats why book 2 was a total miss for me. She didnt have any real consequences for most things. Book 3 was great tho😂

I love that boook

“ just a reporter” ummmmm….. you’ll seee
I WAS SHOCKED!
