#219 – As Good as Dead by Holly Jackson (with Jessica and Saunya of Opinionated Lushes)

Tune in as Jessica and Saunya (Opinionated Lushes) hop back onto the program to review and recap As Good as Dead, the 2021 YA mystery-thriller novel by Holly Jackson that reunites us with a traumatized and determined Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amobi as she uncovers more murderous happenings and secrets in this conclusion to the A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder trilogy. Continuing to read Pip as autistic-coded, the morally gray twists and turns that this book boldly pulls us through, cops being able to legally lie to you, and whether or not headless stick figures are all that creepy emerge as a few of the talking points for this episode.TW: Death, murder, PTSD, rape (in the past), stalking, drug use, drug abuse, misogyny, gun violence (in the past), animal death (in the past), child death (in the past), pedophilia (in the past), fire, and vomitSpoilers start at 18:15Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere’s how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere’s how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere’s how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Saunya: Murderbot (which was adapted from The Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells)• Jessica: Date Everything!• Arthur: Constance by Matthew FitzSimmons and Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly JacksonReach out at [email protected] if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree
