Good Girl, Bad Bloodby Holly Jackson was published on April 30, 2020.

Pippa initially declines because of how obsessed she became with the Andie Bell case.

The show often alters a book character’s purpose in the story or eliminates them altogether.

One character that the show eliminated is journalist Stanley Forbes.

He wholeheartedly believes that Sal is guilty, and one of his reasons is rooted in racism.

Pippa only has a conversation with him, threatening to pursue justice on behalf of his victims.

Thisstark contrast suggests that a potential second season might end differently for Max.

However, the first book also has a much more hopeful ending.

Pip and Ravi also grow significantly closer.

On the other hand,Good Girl, Bad Blooddoes not end as positively.
