My thoughts:

Good Girls Don't Die by Christina Henry is the most original thriller I have ever read. The mix of psychological thriller, horror, and dystopian thriller offers a story for many different readers, while its ending provides something for everyone to contemplate and discuss. I opened this book without reading the story's description, which was the best scenario for maximum enjoyment. It also makes me not want to say too much.

I will say this. The pacing is breakneck, and I loved that! I don't know that there was a lot of character development, but that's just the nature of the story. It doesn't need it to achieve it's thought-provoking ending. I would have enjoyed a character study of one particular character, but that would require a companion novel or a prequel.

Good Girls Don't Die is a unique and eye-opening study of the portrayal of female characters in different thriller-style genres and what that says about perspectives in the real world. I'm still contemplating all the many nuances!
