Bad Girl by Ella Goode

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

No strong representation of diverse characters or minority identities.

The Hero totally irked me in Bad Girl; he came across as a privileged (ignorant) asshole, so I didn't really mind the Heroine's corporate espionage. I'll admit that the Heroine was frightfully naive about her uncle's intentions; she didn't do any investigating of her own to ensure her uncle was telling the truth.

Safety Rating: Safe with Exceptions

• No cheating
• No OM drama
• Does have OW drama (kind of)
– The Hero makes it seem like his friend (who is a woman) is his girlfriend
• Does have the Hero and Heroine pushing each other away
• No separation


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Death of Heroine's mother from cancer (off-page)
• Death of Heroine's father from suicide
• Murder


Ending:
HEA
