 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.
