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.
Reviews
Couldn’t put it down
5By w!nt3rsDual perspective was great! Needed a book after Ice Breaker series and The Rule Book and this was perfect!! Good writing and a few turns to keep it interesting! Somewhat predictable but not too much. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for your next romcom. I’d read it again!Predictable, but enjoyable
4By Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee2222222I went into this book fast unable to put it down at first, but there came a point about halfway in it felt like it could have been the end. There were some twists to follow, but very predictable and I had to force myself to finish the book. I am still giving it four stars, but know that it doesn’t keep the same pace and suspense all the way through.all the ingredients of a perfect love story!!
5By daniellee.murphyI absolutely loved how authentic and relatable the characters in this story were!! the love story was one that resembled a true connection!LOVED ITTT
5By BriLovesBooksThis book is spicy and a page turner. The plot and characters were great! 10/1010/10 book!
5By lakynteresangelaHighly recommend this one!! Not as smutty as I anticipated but such a good story 😭A very boring book
1By TomOftenI’m usually able to hang in with any book until the end. Not this one. Eleven chapters in and I don’t care about a single character or the outcome.Great book
5By LilminimusclemanLoved this one!So cute
4By pinkyy225I loved this story! I would’ve given 5 stars if the ending would’ve given us a bit more. I plan to read the next book in the series in hopes we see more about the hotel and where Mac and Cooper’s relationship heads mixed in. I wish their was an epilogue to just round it out. The love story is very cute and I enjoyed reading it thoroughly.Great summer read

5By Girlpower2335I have read a few pages of this book at first until this summer I couldn’t put it down some nights it got SOO good. I loved the 2 narrator plot. Good story!Great read
4By MissrorohickA really cute story. Thoroughly enjoyed it.brought me out of my reading slump !
5By MowgliRenaeElle Kennedy has become one of favorite authors !Good Girl Complex
5By Breezy SlideThis book is probably one of my favorite romances of all time. Pleasure, deep love, and scandals is all rolled up in Good Girl Complex. Sometimes it does get tedious when Mac and Cooper break up, then reunite, then break up again. However, it is very easy to get over that fact when the book is an overall 5/5. I think a lot of people didn’t like the ending because it felt so abrupt and I agree. Many readers wanted an epilogue to see what happened to the hotel and Mac and Cooper. I think Elle Kennedy didn’t add an epilogue because she is writing the next book, which is coming out in November, 2022. I can’t wait for November!Good Girl Complex
5By SlickrdrThe story was great the ending could have been less abrupt.Cringey writing
1By heisnsjakannajaI get people seek out this ‘guy is dared to get the girl but ends up falling for her and eventually she finds out but ultimately they end up together’ trope, but the over the top “we’re poor so we stick together like family, no one messes with us… cause we’re poor and we know how to fight” was really hard to read and honestly I could not stop cringing😫So So Good—4.8/5
4By torihimesThis was honestly such an amazing read! I could not put it down, even in the early hours of the morning. I just wish there was an epilogue, the ending is a bit cut off. I needed the closure with the hotel, Mac’s and Cooper’s next steps in the relationship: engaged? moved out?, and some common ground (or even friendship) with Heidi.I’m a fan!!
5By JacquelynkdLove this book, characters, and cute college town on the bay. You become very invested in the characters from the very beginning.
