The Girls Are All So Nice Here
by L.E. Flynn
Ambrosia “Amb” Wilson has no desire to go to her 10-year college reunion. She wants to put the past behind her especially what happened one night during her freshman year with her and her friend Sloane “Sully” Sullivan. When Amb receives an anonymous note that says, “We need to talk about what we did that night,” she decides to attend the reunion. During the reunion, her and Sully keep getting more threatening notes, and they realize this isn’t just a prank, but that someone is looking for revenge for what they did all those years ago.
This story is like mean girls on steroids. These girls were so not nice! They were cruel, manipulative, and horrible, and with that said, I loved every minute of this story! Not sure what that says about me, but the author, Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, did a great job of writing these characters in a way that made it hard to look away or put the book down. Sully was the master manipulator, and she made many girls’ lives a living hell. Amb only wanted to be friends with her, but she started to act more and more like Sully, which ultimately lead them to do some awful things to their dorm mates.
The book is told from Amb’s perspective and in dual timelines, freshman year of college and the reunion 10 years later. I thought this was the perfect way to tell this story. It made it more suspenseful as the author did not let on too early what exactly these girls did. It was a bit of a slow burn, but I was hooked from them beginning. This book is evil and disturbing in the best way possible! 4.5 stars rounded down.
Thank you NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
