DNF – A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder by Holly Jackson
DNF at 11% — This one wasn’t a fit for me due to the language and darker content. From what I read, there was profanity and heavier themes introduced early on. Personally, based on that content, I wouldn’t consider it the best fit for younger YA readers (around ages 12–16).
🌶️: DNF’d at 11% – none so far
