Good Girl Complex (Avalon Bay, 1)

Description

*USA Today and Toronto Star bestseller*

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. Her demanding parents. Her prep school friends. Her long-time boyfriend. It's exhausting, really, always following the rules. All she wants to do is focus on growing her internet business, but first she must get a college degree at her parents' insistence. That means moving to the beachside town of Avalon Bay, a community made up of locals and the wealthy students of Garnet College.

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.

Yeah, that sure gives him a pass on all the disgusting bullshit he's thinking the rest of the time. Mac's chapter is just... wow how much cooler and mature and older she is than the other girls at her college. She's took one gap year. And somehow is a self-made millionaire(?) bu...read more

Probably the book I’ve least enjoyed so far, mostly because of its predictability. I didn’t find myself aching to read the next chapter. Definitely an easy read. Small coastal town, rich college girl + home town boy, mild spice.
