Thriller This is my first read by author Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, but I promise it will not be my last. I was lucky enough to get an arc of this and so happy about it. This was an edge-of-your-seat kind of page-turner. I liked this so much I bought the audiobook for my best friend because I knew this would be right up her alley. This book is so intense that it leaves you uneasy the entire time you read and you still cannot put it down. Flynn is a wordsmith with the precise language it is crisp and clear that the words feel like a best friend that keeps you going until you get to the end. She lets you come to the party keeps you there with every page you turn and does it without missing a beat. It felt like the two main characters Ambrosia and Sully were caught in the writer’s web and you needed to know if they would come out alive or come out trapped for good. This book is recommended if you want a thrill ride with a group of women who know what they want and don’t want to be mixed with a bit of danger. This makes sexuality and independence and women empowerment a thing to behold. But what will keep you turning pages is to find out if the girls are nice or if some friendships are deadly. After reading this novel Ms. Flynn has made my instabuy list and for good reason. This is hands down a great dark thriller go get it! Thank you Netgalley for my arc and thank you to the author for writing a story that will stay with me. The Girls Are All So Nice Here by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn is a wrecking ball of a thriller that will make you question everything you read and everyone you read about. The girls are definitely not nice in this book! But wow, did Laurie Elizabeth Flynn do an excellent job crafting this mystery and making me question everything. I didn't expect the ending until about two-thirds of the way through and I did enjoy every second of my theorizing. Two best friends, Ambrosia and Sully, are invited back to their college reunion... but things weren't so pretty back in their college days. They ruined the lives of some people and someone is sending them menacing messages to make sure the girls know someone is onto them. The book breaks down the story into the present, the reunion, and the past, their college days. The story slowly unfolds and lets you in on the dark secrets that happen and eventually unveil about 98% of the truth by the ending. The dark and twisted minds of these women are analyzed and we learn a lot about the kind of people they are. I mean, we all know mean girls that we think would act this way (or we know they did), so it feels REALLY on point. It's a unique take on a classic trope - those dreaded mean girl bullies, except we watch the bullies this time. I did feel bad for the girls but also wanted to smack them in their college sections. I felt so connected and hoped they were better people, but... yeah, they are pretty darn messy. Regardless, I enjoyed this book! I wanted a thriller in my life and I got it! Four out of five stars. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"A lot has changed in the years since Ambrosia Wellington graduated from college, and she's worked hard to create a new life for herself. But then an invitation to her ten-year reunion arrives in the mail, along with an anonymous note that reads, "We need to talk about what we did that night." It seems that the secrets of Ambrosia's past-and the people she thought she'd left there-aren't as buried as she'd believed. Amb can't stop fixating on what she did or who she did it with: larger-than-life Sloane "Sully" Sullivan, Amb's former best friend, who could make anyone do anything. At the reunion, Amb and Sully receive increasingly menacing messages, and it becomes clear that they're being pursued by someone who wants more than just the truth of what happened that first semester. This person wants revenge for what they did and the damage they caused--the extent of which Amb is only now fully understanding. And it was all because of the game they played to get a boy who belonged to someone else, and the girl who paid the price. Alternating between the reunion and Amb's freshman year, The Girls Are All So Nice Here is a shocking novel about the brutal lengths girls can go to get what they think they're owed, and what happens when the games we play in college become matters of life and death"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
