The Good Girls

Narrated by: Lauren Ezzo, Tara Sands, Sarah Mollo-Christensen, Hope Newhouse, Hayden Bishop, James Fouhey, Andrew Eiden

One of Us Is Lying meets Sadie in this twisty, feminist thriller for the Me Too era.

The troublemaker. The overachiever. The cheer captain. The dead girl. Like every high school in America, Jefferson-Lorne High contains all of the above.

After the shocking murder of senior Emma Baines, three of her classmates are at the top of the suspect list: Claude, the notorious partier; Avery, the head cheerleader; and Gwen, the would-be valedictorian.

But appearances are never what they seem. And the truth behind what really happened to Emma may just be lying in plain sight. As long buried secrets come to light, the clock is ticking to find Emma's killer—before another good girl goes down.

I hope you enjoyed the ride…

Powerful. Gripping. Unconventional.

There were enough clues for me to get the big surprise long before the reveal, but that doesn’t lessen the emotional impact of the story.

It’s a story to which every woman can relate; every woman has experienced to some degree. Sad but true. So men, if a woman - any woman - trusts you enough to tell you her story, believe her, no matter if it happened 5 hours ago or 50 years.

Unexpected

Don't get me wrong, I had suspicions about the ending and while I wasn't far off I also didn't get it right on the head. This book did get a bit deep and covered things that could be too sensitive for some, but it was very well written and will be a reread for me.

The story line

It was confusing which part was which and who was who, it would have been better is at the beginning they said who was the narrator

The good girls

Such a good book. Very relatable for a coming of age reader with romance and mystery. Would read the first book though to get the full affect.

Needed Better Narration - too confusing

It would have been much better if four separate voices read the parts of the main characters instead of having one voice for all four of them and only the varying voices when they were doing the interviews. It was very confusing at times to figure out/remember which of the main characters was speaking.
