A contemporary take on the Lizzie Borden story that explores how grief can cut deep.Ĭharlotte lost her mother six months ago, and still no one will tell her exactly what happened the day she mysteriously died. This book would deserve a rating of four stars due to the lack of positiveness in the main character.'If you think you know how this one will end, I promise, you don't.' -Kara Thomas, author of That Weekend and The Cheerleadersįor fans of They Wish They Were Us and Sadie comes a propulsive thriller that reminds us that in real life, endings are rarely as neat as happily ever after. Overall though, the author reveals important themes and aspects of the story that make the reader wonder what is going to happen next, and keeps the pages turning.

I personally liked the plot of the story, though the main character Pip in my opinion could have been tweaked at least a little to have more of a positive personality. Though there is sensitive language and scenes, the plot itself is very deep and quite interesting. The question is: who is the mysterious stalker and why is he doing this? What does the previous serial killer DT Killer have to do with this? Is DT Killer, the killer that Pip and Ravi researched, back at it again? The author writes in a bold and iconic way that captures both the attention of adults and young adults. As Pip starts to investigate the truth behind this mystery, one thing becomes clear: there is a stalker watching her every move. Pip confides with her close friends and relatives, but none except Ravi, her boyfriend, believes her. The author gradually starts off with emails and starts to move on to more serious messages from the person, such as two dead pigeons on her driveway without a head, or stick figures being drawn around her house. However, after the court case, Pip starts receiving mysterious emails from someone anonymous, with a mysterious message from them. As she is built by the author, she becomes enraged during the trial and leaves it, saying that she won't tolerate any of this. The author starts the book off with Pip entering a court case after accusing a person named Max as a rapist online.Things start going downhill from there, as Pip cannot conjure enough evidence to support her claim. It represents the problems of the real world that many people face, and in that way, it makes the story much more interesting. It is a classic yet terrifying story of what could happen if you're not careful. It takes place near the city of New York, with a girl named Pip Fitz-Amobi as the main character. The book As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson is a classic serial-killer thriller story.
