The Good Girls by Sara Shepard

"Like we're the first people ever who talk about people we want dead.”
I wasn't sure what I expected of this series. I love this author and have absolutely loved 2 other series by her. But this one just didn't click with me.
I felt detached from the characters. I didn't remember enough from book one to really pull the two together and book 2 barely let me get to know them more. And the cast is kind of big - Mackenzie, Ava, Julie, Parker, and Catilin is all it mentions on the cover. But they all have friends and best friends, people they are currently dating and exboyfriends that won't see to go away that I was supposed to remember to - even parents, teachers and other school personnel. It's daunting to even try to keep up with all of them, let alone keep their own struggles with the right person - especially when I didn't feel the need to connect all the dots each chapter.
But I did like the mystery. I definitely didn't know who was killing everyone and I liked having the list beforehand so we knew which victims to watch out for.
Meh, it was light and fluffy and I didn't mind reading it but I didn't love it.
