Tune in as Jessica and Saunya (Opinionated Lushes) return to the show for a breakdown of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, the 2019 YA mystery thriller novel by debut author Holly Jackson. The hosts do plenty on this episode, where they theorize that Pip is neurodivergent, express their varying tolerances for heavy and disturbing content in thriller and horror media, vent their ACAB attitudes, and wonder just what the hell calamity parties are supposed to be.

TW: Murder, suicide, statutory rape, sexual assault, recreational drug use, nonconsensual drugging with roofies, animal death, bullying, kidnapping, racism, blackmail, past rape, past car accident, past death of a parent, mention of eating disorder, mention of self-harm, alcohol

Spoilers start at 22:00
