Good Girl Complex

An Avalon Bay Novel

By: Elle Kennedy

Narrated by: Ava Erickson, Joe Arden

"This is a beach listen with a youthful feel narrated by two pros who deliver."—AudioFile on The Good Girl Complex

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. Unlike most twenty-year-olds, all she really 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.

Mac’s 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.

Brilliant storytelling

loved the story but the readers what really made the story. good pacing and drama. and smut was fantastic.

Enjoyable

The story was easy reading and enjoyable. It was nice to see how two characters from vastly different backgrounds could have so much in common and really see each other. I really enjoyed how the relationship between Mac and all the “townies” grew throughout the book and how she found her own two feet in the process.

Good Story

Although there are mixed reviews on this one I enjoyed it. The narration was good, I mean Joe Arden and Ava Erickson of course it would be. I could see how easily this could be a series with lots of interesting characters having there own backstory.

Cute Predictable Story

Cute story of opposites attract. Liked the main Characters but ending felt a short. I didn't believe the ex or her parents would just walk away without a dirty fight though. Joe Arden is perfect as always. Swoon.

Hopeful

I listened to this book with my lovely wife. I hope there are more books with the two main characters. We really enjoyed it.

Good story

I enjoyed the story overall, but the ending was a little abrupt. I’m hoping we get to see more of this couple in the next book.

If you love Elle Kennedy…skip this one

Not worth a credit. Lots of unnecessary angst, and the story really dragged on. I typically fly through her books but I struggled to finish. Characters are annoying and don’t have many redeeming or compelling traits

Good start to a new series

I love Elle Kennedy's books and was a little worried when I peeked at a few reviews on Goodreads. I don't know why I even did that because I really enjoyed this book! I'm excited for all stories that can come out of this friend group. The only thing I didn't enjoy was Joe Arden. I hate to even say that 😞 He has such a nice voice and I love so many things he's narrated! His narration just fell flat for me. I kind of wish Ava Erickson had read the entire book. Her voice fit the characters and story for me.

looooove

I loved this book so much, honestly the story line is perfect. right amount of spicy-ness

A good summer love!

The characters are likeable, there’s just enough back story on the characters and pplease let us not forget there is a HOT set of twins who represent the bad and good boys. Loved it and will recommend for anyone who enjoys reading romance on a beach. FYI the love scenes are spicy
