We’re people who have each other’s backs because having someone’s back means someone has yours, and that’s a good way to live. Since this is all before there events of agggtm I love how we were able to see where Pippa's detective type personality came from and also what events caused her to do the final project that she did in agggtm.

She graduated from the University of Nottingham, where she studied literary linguistics and creative writing, with a master’s degree in English. Over the course of the next three years, Jo protested up and down the country, attended parliament and made an unlikely group of friends, ranging from sixteen to sixty, that would become her closest confidants and allies.Their plates were empty all apart from Pip’s because there had been too much thinking to do to concentrate on eating.

Fiercely funny, truly fascinating and inspiring and touching in equal measure, Killjoy is about the real-life story of a handful of 'small' female Davids taking on large male Goliaths. And before anyone says it’s because of her history I feel the need to mention that this scene makes its way into almost every single one of her historical romance novels.When her now successful aunt Carrie, who is struggling with a bad marriage to Tony invites her on a retreat- she finally agrees- only to find out that her aunt has been kidnapped by a "familiar looking" woman and a man named "Monk"- and soon with the help of secret agent John Paul, realizes that the conspiracy runs deeper and her aunt might be the target of a serial killer.

It's packed with Holly's signature engaging writing style and gives us the Pip we all know and love. The “freedom” Ant meant was that they had all now finished their SATs; it was the end of June and the first time they’d all hung out like this—all six of them—in a while, despite living in the same town and attending the same school.at a time when social change is urgently needed, The Feminist Killjoy Handbook provides sharp and usable tools for readers who have been made to feel isolated, insignificant and difficult. It’s such an overused trope to vilify sexually available women, and I’m so tired of hearing about the sexually innocent heroine and the promiscuous villain. there was a bit of mystery mixed into their lives as they played this game, and i did find myself to be intrigued, but not as much to improve my rating.

another thing was how she criticized everyone in this book, from the character she played to her friends and their roles. She had also gone for the face-paint-wrinkle look, slightly more subtle and effective than Connor’s. When he finds out that Avery is looking for the same person he is, he wants to know if there is a connection to Monk and if Avery's aunt could be one of his contracts.Now, with scant clues and fewer resources, Avery must track down and save Carolyn—and outmaneuver a brilliant killer who is part of an elaborate plot of madness and lethal vengeance. And when someone "dies", there are plenty of clues and red herrings to cast suspicion in every which way.
