“A twisty, roller coaster ride of a debut. Fans of Gone Girl will embrace this equally evocative tale.” —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“I’ve been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her groceries, where she has her dry cleaning done, where she works. I don’t know the color of her eyes or what they look like when she’s scared. But I will.”

One night, Mia Dennett enters a bar to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn’t show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic stranger. At first Colin Thatcher seems like a safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia’s life.

When Colin decides to hide Mia in a secluded cabin in rural Minnesota instead of delivering her to his employers, Mia’s mother, Eve, and detective Gabe Hoffman will stop at nothing to find them. But no one could have predicted the emotional entanglements that eventually cause this family’s world to shatter.

An addictively suspenseful and tautly written thriller, The Good Girl is a propulsive debut that reveals how even in the perfect family, nothing is as it seems.

I really loved the narration in this book.

I really loved the narration in this book. each character given a different voice makes it so much more enjoyable. great story and also a great twist at the end.

the ending

kind of a depressing story. But good character development. Interesting topics about childhood neglect and abuse. How it happened for both Colin and Mia at different socio economic levels. Lots of mental health issues.

Predictable

The performance was not that great. The reviews indicated the plot twist was mind blowing but I thought the it was given away pretty early in the story. I wasn’t surprised. It was just ok.

So sad

Well the ending was a little bit unsuspected but there were times when I thought it might have been the secret. The only real thing I didn’t like was the way Eve voiced Gabe’s character and the way Gabe voiced Eve. I also don’t like when an author has a character tell you what another character said. If you have both characters in the story then why not run the dialogue. It’s ok sometimes but it was too much in my opinion.
The end was so sad. But after the twist, that got me thinking of how Owen would have reacted if he knew the truth? Would he still feel the same way??

Didn’t see that coming

I really appreciate an ending that I never anticipated, and that is a rare find for me. Kudos to Mary Kubica for pulling that off so well! Overall, the story was good and I’d recommend it even though I felt it was a bit slow moving at times and I didn’t love the narration.
