4 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
Teenage sleuth Kippy Bushman is back in this murderously funny sequel to No One Else Can Have You, which was named one of Times Best Young Adult Books of the Year. Even more shocking and thrilling than its critically acclaimed predecessor, Nothing Bad Is Going to Happen is another clever, riotous dark comedy from Kathleen Hale thats perfect for fans of the cult-classic film Fargo, the beloved television show Veronica Mars, and teen books like Sara Shepards Pretty Little Liars series.Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Friendship, Wisconsin . . .After catching her best friends murderer a few months ago, Kippy thought the worst was over. Then she found her boyfriend at home, barely breathing and clinging to life. The sheriff insists it was a suicide attempt, but Kippy refuses to believe it. And with everything thats happened to her, Kippy wonders if something more sinister is going on. But in a town where everyone has their secrets and a next-door neighbor could be a serial killer, who can she turn to for help?

A bit odd of a beginning for me as it must pick up right after the previous book... which I have not read.

I actually enjoyed this sequel more than the first. The humor was slightly less sharp, but Hale did a good job of complicating some of the stereotypes that she leaned into to create humorous characters in the first book - I liked it. The story was more contained, the cast of characters remained largely the same, and the plot of the mystery was fairly light - enabling the greater character development while still keeping it a fast-paced read.

KateFulfordAuthor If you need another recommendation, may I point you to my People‘s Book Prize nominated debut? Sassy female narrative, laugh out dialogue and a pacy plot. Check the link in the bio for 2 free chapters, reviews and more. 7y

The amount of sass and wit in these books makes me laugh despite the grief riddled storylines
