About this listen

Full of romance, hijinks and longing, Good Girl Complex is Elle Kennedy at her very best....

She does everything right. So what could go wrong?

Mackenzie 'Mac' Cabot is a people pleaser. It's exhausting, really, always following the rules. Mac has dreams of her own, but to please her parents she moves to the beachside town of Avalon Bay to get her college degree.

Twenty-year-old Mac has had plenty of practice suppressing her wilder impulses, but when she meets local bad boy Cooper Hartley, that ability is suddenly tested. Cooper is rough around the edges. Raw. Candid. A threat to her ordered existence. Their friendship soon becomes the realest thing in her life.

Despite his disdain for the trust-fund kids he sees coming and going from his town, Cooper soon realizes Mac isn't just another rich clone and falls for her. Hard. But as Mac finally starts feeling accepted by Cooper and his friends, the secret he's been keeping from her threatens the only place she's ever felt at home.

I love Elle Kennedy books, this one didn’t disappoint, Mac & Coops twitsy turny love story was brilliant. And well anything with Joe Arden & Ava Erickson narrating will be epic!

I swear, that college age drama is Elle Kennedy's forte.

As I'm sure the reader is meant to, I absolutely hated the pretentious a$$ that sealed Cooper's fate. However it was also a great way to be introduced to ALL the residents of Avalon Bay, whether student or resident.

I liked Cooper, Evan and their circle of friends but thought that overall, the story was fairly predictable. You could, I suppose, argue all college drama is the same lol.





Not a bad start to a new series.

For me this book is a like not a love. Elements to enjoy - the twin aspect and the great cast of friends . Elements to like less- very rushed ending and loose ends.

Great cast of characters

Plenty of content with some heat. really great narrators. no epilogue so I guess it's straight on to book 2

Good ready listen

This book is nothing like the blurb and I foolishly didn’t read any reviews ahead of starting it. I didn’t realise it was a cheating trope when I started this so quickly decided to DNF this one. I do hate reviewing books badly when I haven’t read them fully however the characters are awful people. Mac seems ok she has broken out on her own and has been pressured into going to college. She doesn’t love her boyfriend so I have no clue why she is with him. Preston the boy friend is a typical rich kid character however treats Mac ok. Cooper is awful he is wronged by Preston and decides with his toxic group of friends to mess with Mac’s head and then dump her in front of a crowd. If this happens in the book and she ends the story with him I am even more disappointed with this story. Mac who is nothing but nice to everyone and doesn’t deserve anything that happens to her.

Awful story DNF
