This is a very slow burn that I wanted to put it down multiple times. The beginning was confusing until the pace of the book started picking up. Adding to this confusion was the fact that there are multiple POVs and timelines. I figured out the twist well before it happened, leaving me a little uninterested in what was going on. Once everything came together I felt it was a little far fetched and unbelievable. Some plot points are underdeveloped and it was frustrating.

The narrators did a very good job portraying each character, and for the most part they kept my attention well.

I want to thank Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced listening copy of this book.

I’ve read a couple of Alice Feeney this year and she has become an author I will continue to read! She develops such great characters and never ceases to surprise me with her twists and turns in her storylines. I really enjoyed this one! I tried to figure out where the storyline was going and poof! it surprised me! What a great twist! Thanks #NetGalley for the advance audio in exchange for my review!

I’m always excited for a new Alice Feeney book. This one definitely held my attention. I did not expect the twists. I love it when a book slowly reveals how things are connected and this one did just that.

If you enjoy a thriller with multiple POVs and nonlinear timelines then you need to pick up Good Bad Girl.

Good Bad Girl keeps you on your toes. A story told by many characters. I found it slow to start but when it hit its stride I was invested. The plot twists many times, and all is not revealed until the end. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what was happening most of the time but that felt like part of the plan. To say there is a lot going on here is an understatement. The mother-daughter relationship is at the heart of it. An enjoyable listen.

Interesting family suspense. This author always has one more twist up her sleeve whenever I think I have it all figured out. I enjoyed the narration but did get confused a few times with the many pov.

4 1/2 out of 5 stars

All the books that I have read by Alice Feeney have been incredibly enjoyable and this was no exception. I enjoy the premise of these three women with a connection. I do feel that this felt far more like a suspense than a thriller but that is what I expected from it. A good read.

Finished this one in a day and whew! What a fun ride it was. Everytime I think I know what's happening in Feeney's books, I'm wrong and I love that! Will continue to read and enjoy this auto-buy author!

Good read. I always enjoy this author’s writing and this book didn’t disappoint. Although, I figured the story out early on in the book, I still enjoyed the journey. I really enjoyed the narration as well.

Thank you MacMillan Audio and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen this book!

Alice Feeney does it again with another blockbuster thriller. Most people think in black and white. People are either good or bad, but the MC is so relatable as she is a good bad girl.

Awesome narration by Stephanie Racine.

An interesting take on generational family and a complicated relationships.

I found some of the characters to be tedious which made me enjoy this a little less than if they’d been easier to feel sympathetic about.

I think the end revealed a lot but seems a little impossible? Perhaps a little too convenient.

In all, not a bad book just perhaps not my personal favorite. Fans of the author may love it!

My rating: 3*

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this gifted ALC. All opinions are my own.

I think this is actually really good its just a bit too drawn out and long.
This is a unique psychological thriller and i think everyone should read it truly.
Its a story that starts at the end, ends at the end and ends in the middle as well.... this story takes you on a wild ride with so many twists, turns and freefalls it keeps you entertained. Even when I finished it I was still in shock. The audiobook is also quite fantastic!

Such a pleasant surprise! I could not have predicted the twists and turns of this story. I felt truly invested in the characters and was rooting for them all. This thriller will be one I recommend for a long time.

I was greatly looking forward to this book as I absolutely love everything Alice Feeney has written, but unfortunately it fell flat for me.

It was more of a family suspense drama rather than a thriller which I found disappointing. I think I might have enjoyed this more as I found the story likeable, if I hadn't gone into it expecting a twisty, heart thumping, thriller like Feeney normally writes.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a masterfully crafted atmospheric family suspense drama. I know that when I pick up a book by Alice Feeney that I will be immersed in a world that will sweep me away. This one was perfect to listen to on audio. Highly recommend.

I love how easily I get swept up into Feeney's writing. She grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let go until the twist you didn't see coming at the end. She's brilliant and never lets me down. I can't say that this tops the list of her books for me, but it's still a very entertaining and quick read. Books like this make you think about the "bad" things people do sometimes even though they are genuinely good people, Life isn't black and white, and Feeney portrays that beautifully in her novels. I'll always recommend her books.

“The world is full of people who are good at being bad, and people who are bad at being good.”

I loved Daisy Darker and Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney but unfortunately this one was just a like for me. I feel like I may have enjoyed it more as a physical book instead of audio because with the multiple POVs and timelines, it was a little confusing at times. But it had some solid twists and I liked how it all came together at the end.

I'm an Alice Feeney fan so I loved listening to this audiobook. The narrator created suspenseful elements perfectly. Sometimes, I prefer to listen to thrillers for that extra chill factor and this audiobook had it. If you have a thriller/mystery fan, this is a great book to listen to.

I have thoughts on <i>Good Bad Girl</i> and I'm not sure if there are good thoughts. Good Bad Thoughts, maybe...

While this wasn't a psychological thriller, it was certainly a family thriller. There were many characters and a lot of twists and turns. Most of the thme was centered around Mother's Day and some tough events that happened on that day in years past.

The story was told in multiple POVs and out of order. At some points, it became convoluted and confusing. The reader had to keep careful track of who was narrating and at what point in the story they were talking about. I did not like that. I feel like this way of telling a story was to add confusion so that the reader wouldn't catch on to the a-ha moment to early. What it did was cause me to become disinterested and lose the desire to keep track.

There were more things about it that I wasn't a fan of, rather than things I did enjoy. Such as names used: Liberty and Patience. Also there were a couple of references about not believing in coincidences, when really this book seemed to be filled with a whole lot of them.

However, once the ending came close and things started to fall into place, it became much more enjoyable to finish. I am glad I hung on when I lost focus on the story, so that I really only missed details instead of missing the ending.

Excellent! I love this author's books.
Thanks so much for the chance to listen.
Highly recommended!

Alice feeney has done it again with this masterly crafted family suspense drama. Starting off as a slow burn until about mid way through that keeps you hooked and engaged throughout the book. A messy complicated read that I’ll be talking about for time
