Fast Boys and Pretty Girls

A Novel

By: Lo Patrick

Narrated by: Eliza Summers

They say you can never go home again. And sometimes, you shouldn't.

Following a semi-successful career as a teen model in New York City, Danielle Greer has moved back to the mountains of North Georgia and is living in her childhood home with her husband and four daughters. One stifling, lazy afternoon, the girls are exploring the ravine behind the house when they come across a body.

Danielle knows the body doesn't belong to Benji Law, a younger local misfit who Danielle had an illicit relationship with as a teenager. No, his body was found right away, after he was killed in a motorcycle accident on the road in front of her family's house. Danielle has a good idea who the body might be, but she doesn't know how it got there.

When local police officer Cady Benson is called in to investigate, Danielle's world is turned upside down, and she's thrust back into those dark, confusing days leading up to Benji's death, battling the things she remembers with the things she can't forget.

I just found the story okay and sort of drawn out

I didn’t care for any of the character’s personalities much, I kept trying to like them but just didn’t! 🥴

Predictable, unfortunately

I feel like the author really tried, but MAN, it wasn’t good I’m sorry to say. Unlikable and undeveloped characters, flat settings, boring and very predictable plot. Ended on a comma, but not in the exciting way.
