Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy
3.0
I wanted to love this more than I did (because I love The Deal so much and the rest of that series is pretty high on my TBR). I listened to Good Girl Complex on audio and found it to be a quick, enjoyable listen. However, there was really nothing here that wow'd me.
I honestly did not really find Mackenzie to be a very likable heroine. I didn't feel like she was relatable - it felt like her only personality traits were being rich and hard working (relatively, for the kind of rich that she was). I never really felt any sort of connection to her.
And then Cooper - he was alright (morality aside but I went into this book with a good idea of the spoilers) but not really a lovable character.
The other thing I wasn't thrilled with was that the reveal and reconciliation happened way too close to the end of the book (like the characters are reconciling at the 97% mark). I would have liked the book more if the reveal had happened sooner so more of the plot could have covered them working through their problems and then finding their HEA. Instead I would categorize this ending as an HFN because it happened too late in the book to indicate this couple really is destined for a HEA.
Will I read more Elle Kennedy books after this? Absolutely - I'm still eyeing all of the Off-Campus and Briar U books. But will I continue with Avalon Bay? Maybe not.
