"A twisty, roller coaster ride of a debut. Fans of
Gone Girl will embrace this equally evocative tale." --Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"I've been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her groceries, where she has her dry cleaning done, where she works. I don't know the color of her eyes or what they look like when she's scared. But I will."

One night, Mia Dennett enters a bar to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn't show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic stranger. At first Colin Thatcher seems like a safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia's life.

When Colin decides to hide Mia in a secluded cabin in rural Minnesota instead of delivering her to his employers, Mia's mother, Eve, and detective Gabe Hoffman will stop at nothing to find them. But no one could have predicted the emotional entanglements that eventually cause this family's world to shatter.

An addictively suspenseful and tautly written thriller, The Good Girl is a propulsive debut that reveals how even in the perfect family, nothing is as it seems.

Content warning for kidnapping, violence, sexual violence, abuse, and related topics. I really liked pieces of this thriller, but not everything. I couldn't put this book down. I tore through it because I had to know what was going to happen. I liked the twist, even if I did predict it halfway through. The 'before' and 'after' didn't work for me in this novel, I thought it worked against the suspense that the author was building because you know what happens. I didn't like Colin's narration, and some of the writing is cheesy/tropey but it was still an enjoyable read.

I loved the different perspectives for the story line. The ending was a little shocking.
