Good Girls Never Rise by S.J. Sylvis
4.0

"Good Girls Never Rise" unfolds a tale of unexpected connection and rebellion between two individuals from vastly different backgrounds. Gemma, the quintessential good girl, finds herself in the contrasting world of St. Mary's Boarding School.  fate intervenes, bringing her together with a mysterious figure who challenges her adherence to rules and unleashes a taste of rebellion.

As the lines between obedience and defiance blur, Gemma becomes entangled with a captivating force, described with "wild blue eyes" and "hot, lingering touches." Their shared plan involves Gemma's escape from the boarding school while he stays behind. However, the narrative takes a turn when Isaiah Underwood, the mysterious figure, warns Gemma of the potential consequences, predicting they would go up in flames if they deviated from their plan.

The closing lines suggest a betrayal as Gemma accuses Isaiah of letting her "fall right into the ashes." This leaves  an intriguing cliffhanger, prompting questions about the nature of their relationship, the consequences of their choices, and the impact on Gemma's journey from the sheltered life at St. Mary's to the world of rebellion.

For readers who enjoy stories of forbidden love, rebellion, and the complexities of navigating societal expectations, "Good Girls Never Rise" may provide an engaging and dramatic narrative.
