This book confusingly complex, eerily macabre, and tragically somber. In the first few chapters I guessed how the character would turn out, yet hoped for a different outcome. As I spent time invested in this novel I remember feeling disturbed and heartbroken for the main character Millie. However, as the chapters began to unfold I became uncomfortable with how the character progressed.

"Good Me, Bad Me', is definitely worth a read as it seemed to be well written and the audio book was well narrated.
