This book was a rollercoaster! Dark, twisty, interesting, just everything you seek in a thriller-mystery.

This was incredible. I was hesitant since I’m not a huge murder mystery/thriller reader, but this proved me wrong. “The Good Girls” was enthralling, captivating, and through it all, so so beautiful. Bartlett harnesses an important message throughout the book that makes your heart ache. I would definitely recommend reading it.

I love a mystery/thriller involving messy, complex girls; problematic small towns; and a thoughtful examination of sexual assault. I also liked that it was multi-POV, but the characters' voices kind of sounded the same and it was a little hard at times to keep track of who was who. It also meant that there wasn't a lot of room for development for each character.

Oh, how I wanted to love this more than I did! While I admire its intention, I thought it was poorly executed, hindered by jarring switches in perspective and stereotypical characters. It reads so much like a Riverdale or Pretty Little Liars season that I have to wonder if it'd be better suited to television. A bummer!
