This was incredible. I was hesitant since I’m not a huge murder mystery/thriller reader, but this proved me wrong. “The Good Girls” was enthralling, captivating, and through it all, so so beautiful. Bartlett harnesses an important message throughout the book that makes your heart ache. I would definitely recommend reading it.

I love a mystery/thriller involving messy, complex girls; problematic small towns; and a thoughtful examination of sexual assault. I also liked that it was multi-POV, but the characters' voices kind of sounded the same and it was a little hard at times to keep track of who was who. It also meant that there wasn't a lot of room for development for each character.
