Reviews with content warning for Sexual harassment - The Good Girls

a nice enough ya mystery story with a bit of a feminist twist, but to be honest, i was expecting way more of this one. the first 45% of the book were so slow-paced and all the different pov's were so confusing that i sometimes had a hard time not putting the book down and mark it as a dnf. however, it got better around halfway through and more interesting as we finally found out what the whole case was about. still, it was incredibly confusing most times, the ending seemed a bit rushed and i don't think all the characters really got the closure they deserved and there should've been a bit more to it. also, there was some stuff that really had me like "umm..wth? that's not really feminist right here" for a novel that claims to have such a great feminist approach. well, all in all, the story was nice enough but nothing special and if i had known more about the actual story happening than just the praise of the blurb, i wouldn't have picked it up.

I really liked this book because of the diversity on the sexuality of the characters. The characters are full of clichés but they are endearing and we discover their personalities beyond the label we put on them. The ending was predictable and so were the plot twists if you paid attention to the story. I liked it a lot, it's a fresh thriller that evokes an important subject of the society. If you like the LGBTQ+, the sorority, the feminism, high school thriller and REVENGE ! go read this book.

I’m quite disappointed that we didn’t know what happened to Emma. And that we didn't get all the reactions to what Mr. Garson did. I would have liked to know what he would have said to justify himself to the police and to the people. Btw I'm glad he was killed. We're not complaining about it. And loved the sorority between those girls <3

I liked the book but many things were predictable. Also upset that there was the queer cheating trope. I think this is a good book for young people to read.
