This is my third Alice Feeney book and I must say she is a hit or miss for me. This one involves a mystery that meandered so far, you forget what it’s about. I think it intended to pull off what The Push did
with postpartum depression
but I had trouble connecting with any of these characters. I’d still pick up anything by this author though.

Alice Feeney has easily become an auto-buy author for me over the past few years and with Good Bad Girl she surprised me again! I'm not going to talk much about the story because I think it is best to go in blind. I was hooked from the beginning even though I was very confused for the first 70 pages, because I had to stop and think about how the characters were related to each other. The story is told by four POVs and takes place in past and present. It was a real page-turner for me and I kept making the wildest guesses while reading. Close to the end I was like "what?!" and I was flabbergasted by twists and turns. The characters definitely made some bold decisions but I still can't say that I disliked them. They all had their unique charm to them.

"Sometimes bad things happen to good people, so good people have to do bad things." 

A very fun and fast-paced mystery in my opinion! 

Thank you to Alice Feeney, Pan Macmillan and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
