The Girls Are All So Nice Here

De: Laurie Elizabeth Flynn

Narrado por: Erin Mallon, Alex Allwine

Two former best friends return to their college reunion to find that they’re being circled by someone who wants revenge for what they did ten years before—and will stop at nothing to get it—in this “propulsive” (Megan Miranda, bestselling author of The Girl from Widow Hills) psychological thriller.

A lot has changed since Ambrosia Wellington graduated from college, and she’s worked hard to create a new life for herself. But then an invitation to her ten-year reunion arrives in the mail, along with an anonymous note that reads, “We need to talk about what we did that night.”

It seems Ambrosia’s past—and the people she thoughts she’d left there—aren’t as buried as she believed. Amb can’t stop fixating on what she did or who she did it with: larger-than-life Sloane “Sully” Sullivan, Amb’s former best friend, who could make anyone do anything.

At the reunion, Amb and Sully receive increasingly menacing messages, and it becomes clear that they’re being pursued by someone who wants more than just the truth of what happened that first semester. This person wants revenge for what they did and the damage they caused—the extent of which Amb is only now fully understanding. And it was all because of the game they played to get a boy who belonged to someone else and the girl who paid the price.

Alternating between the reunion and Amb’s freshman year, The Girls Are All So Nice Here is a “chilling and twisty” (Book Riot) “page-turner” (Entertainment Weekly) about the brutal lengths girls can go to get what they think they’re owed, and what happens when the games we play in college become matters of life and death.

a book of unlikable people

I really enjoy when someone writes about people without making any of them inherently good. the story was well written and the reader did an excellent job. I listened to this book straight through without getting bored.

Narrator was good

Really good and binged it but I have to say it was definitely a bit predictable however worth the listen.

Great book!!

Excellent story but the performance was lacking. All of the male voices were exactly the same. Also, it would have taken very little research to learn how to pronounce fraternity names. DKE is deek, TKE is teek, and Alpha Chi is alpha chiii. Very annoying.

What’s the author’s fixation with Spence girls?

Not a likable character in the book!

Just know, if you have to like a character to enjoy a book, this one is really not for you! Me? I just like well written, character driven novels - and this one has it in spades. Definitely a psychological thriller and interestingly enough, turns out just as you hope it will - well maybe. Each character is fairly well fleshed out, with your loyalties being tested as to who you think you like (well, got that wrong, didn't you?) and in the end, you'll question whether you really want to go to that next college reunion.

Loved this book!

I really loved this book, and the story it presented! I thought it was well thought out with great character development. I plan to recommend this book to more friends!

Deeply disturbing.

The narration by Erin Mallon was wonderful. Laurie Elizabeth Flynn's twisted story gripped me, especially when the reunion started. The book took a dark turn into suspense and mystery that had me hooked ... and disgusted at the horrible acts some people are capable of.

Cautionary tale. The ending felt justified!

Wow

That was a twist that I didn’t expect. Some reviews said it was the best book they’ve read in awhile and I agree. Wow wow wow.

Didn’t see that until the end

Truly awful people that I expected to change but didn’t. I loved the ending. Reminds me of some college experiences, just not as intense.

Loved this one!

This story held my attention from start to finish. I couldn’t stop listening. The narrator did an amazing job. Don’t hesitate using a credit for this one.

Couldn't stop listening

This book was amazing! I couldn't stop listening. The characters are likeable and unlikable at the same time. The story was written well and I was never lost and always knew who was talking. Highly recommend!
