This book was so good!

The Girls Are All so Nice Here is about Ambrosia and Sully, two former best friends who return to their college reunion only to find that they’re being circled by someone who wants revenge for what they did ten years ago.

I loved the plot of this book. It was wild and there were so many little twists that surprised me. I really liked the way the story was told, as we saw both present day as well as flashbacks to the girls college days. I was hooked from the very start.

These characters were so interesting to read about. This novel is filled with people doing terrible things, especially Ambrosia and Sully. Their friendship is so toxic and compelling and as they spiral out of control, it is impossible to look away. Ambrosia is desperate for validation and will do anything to get it but she still feels so real and it is easy to get caught up in her actions.

The writing was absolutely addicting. I sped through this one. This is one of those books that are impossible to put down.

This thriller is about the ugly side of girlhood and the horrible things that women are capable of doing to each other in order to get what they want. It is about the games that go too far and the way desire can turn deadly. The girls are not so nice after all.

This book was just... disappointing. I mean, if you want to read a book that switches between the present, which is a boring college reunion, and the past, which is the main character and her friend bullying, back-stabbing and manipulating her roommate solely because they're bored, then this is the book for you! I'm not against flawed characters, but when we're asked to both read about a woman with no redeeming qualities for 300 pages and care that someone at her reunion knows her secret, I am not ashamed to admit that I do not care. I think this one would have been much better if we had gotten perspectives from people besides Amb.

I have no idea why the author only chose to use Poppy's perspective for a 6 page epilogue. She was actually interesting and her quest for vengeance was something I could get behind, unlike Amb's pathetic efforts to hide her involvement in her roommate's death. While including Poppy earlier would have ruined the big reveal at the end (which wasn't even that much of a surprise), hearing the "villian's" POV would have made for a more compelling book.

As it stands, this was a quick read but I wouldn't recommend it to any thriller fan.
