A Novel

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER HOW FAR DOES THE APPLE REALLY FALL FROM THE TREE?

Good Me Bad Me is dark, compelling, voice-driven psychological suspense by debut author Ali Land: "Could not be more unputdownable if it was slathered with superglue." —Sunday ExpressMilly’s mother is a serial killer. Though Milly loves her mother, the only way to make her stop is to turn her in to the police. Milly is given a fresh start: a new identity, a home with an affluent foster family, and a spot at an exclusive private school. But Milly has secrets, and life at her new home becomes complicated. As her mother’s trial looms, with Milly as the star witness, Milly starts to wonder how much of her is nature, how much of her is nurture, and whether she is doomed to turn out like her mother after all. When tensions rise and Milly feels trapped by her shiny new life, she has to decide: Will she be good? Or is she bad? She is, after all, her mother's daughter.

"Land takes the reader on a terrific voyage into the teenage psyche...an intense, insightful first novel; its believable characters caught up in realistic situations will make the reader think more deeply about teenage mental health. Fans of Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why will enjoy this book immensely." - Library Journal

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A deliberate pace and a skillfully woven plot conspire to create a visceral read that's at once a gripping psychological thriller and a devastating exploration of the damage wrought by childhood trauma." ( Publishers Weekly, starred review)

So Disturbing and Scary

I had bad dreams from this narrator and the story. While the gory details were left out, it didn’t diminish the awfulness of it. The tragedy and the anguish of Millie/Annie and the stupid adults who didn’t read her properly. She could have been cured but perhaps not...and that’s the truth. This will haunt me.

Loved every minute

If you are faint of heart this book may not be for you- but i loved it- great story- loved the performance- truly did NOT want this to end.

Annoying Narration

From the outset, the narrator's creepy, whispered staccato got on my nerves. The story was not interesting and was totally predictable.

chilling, disturbing yet felt empathy, loved it!

world class narration! when you listen, Imogen Church brings you there to the moment. perfection.

LOVED!

I couldn't pinpoint why exactly, but this had me riveted. The narration was fantastic. The story was totally.... I don't know. Just so great!
