A Good Happy Girl

De: Marissa Higgins

Narrado por: Ellie Gossage

Helen, a jittery attorney with a self-destructive streak, is secretly reeling from a disturbing crime of neglect that her parents recently committed. Historically happy to compartmentalize—distracting herself by hooking up with lesbian couples, doting on her grandmother, and flirting with a young administrative assistant—Helen finally meets her match with Catherine and Katrina, a married couple who startle and intrigue her with their ever-increasing sexual and emotional intensity.

Perceptive and attentive, Catherine and Katrina prod at Helen’s life, revealing a childhood tragedy she’s been repressing. When her father begs her yet again for help getting parole, she realizes that she has a bargaining chip to get answers to her past. A Good Happy Girl is interested in worlds without men—and women who will do what they can to get what they want. In her exploration of twisted desires, queer domesticity, and the effects of incarceration on the family, Marissa Higgins offers empathy to characters who often don’t receive it, with unsettling results.

Compelling - kept me hooked

I honestly could not predict where the plot was going - & I love a good surprise.

Chaotic.

The voice narration was great. the story is too chaotic for my brain on meds.

Interesting story

I think it’s well written and a very taboo topic. Well done characters and story line that grabs you.

A good happy girl

Miserable book. Unrelenting. Did not like any of the characters. But I got through it! This taught me something about me.

Boring.

I tried but this book couldn’t hold my interest even a little. I would listen and drift listen to something else and try again. After the 3rd time I gave up.
