literatureaesthetic 's review for:
The Girls Are All So Nice Here
by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn
Rating: ★★★✯☆
(I've included trigger warnings for the book at the end of the review since they are slightly spoilery)
Wow, this book was intense. It was dark, twisted, shocking and so gripping. I've never felt so uncomfortable reading a thriller before. This book took "mean girls" to a whole other level. Every character, and I mean every character was awful. The main character, Ambrosia, was absolutely vile. I hated her so much. I hated her best friend even more.
One thing I really loved about this is how much it affects you. I was so in tune with the characters. Like this book made me anxious, angry, shocked, sad.... I was so invested. Laurie Flynn does an amazing job at pulling the reader in, and keeping them engaged.
I wasn't really sure about how I felt about the ending. I thought it was fitting, in the way that it's dark and twisted. It definitely fits the entire tone of the book. But I'm not sure, I thought it was quite random, I would've preferred things were wrapped up a little more? But that's just a personal preference thing.
Overall, I really enjoyed it, and I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a psychological thriller with a "mean girls" plot line.
