Publisher's summary

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER HOW FAR DOES THE APPLE REALLY FALL FROM THE TREE?

Good Me Bad Me is dark, compelling, voice-driven psychological suspense by debut author Ali Land: "Could not be more unputdownable if it was slathered with superglue." —Sunday ExpressMilly’s mother is a serial killer. Though Milly loves her mother, the only way to make her stop is to turn her in to the police. Milly is given a fresh start: a new identity, a home with an affluent foster family, and a spot at an exclusive private school. But Milly has secrets, and life at her new home becomes complicated. As her mother’s trial looms, with Milly as the star witness, Milly starts to wonder how much of her is nature, how much of her is nurture, and whether she is doomed to turn out like her mother after all. When tensions rise and Milly feels trapped by her shiny new life, she has to decide: Will she be good? Or is she bad? She is, after all, her mother's daughter.

"Land takes the reader on a terrific voyage into the teenage psyche...an intense, insightful first novel; its believable characters caught up in realistic situations will make the reader think more deeply about teenage mental health. Fans of Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why will enjoy this book immensely." - Library Journal

Critic reviews

So Disturbing and Scary

I had bad dreams from this narrator and the story. While the gory details were left out, it didn’t diminish the awfulness of it. The tragedy and the anguish of Millie/Annie and the stupid adults who didn’t read her properly. She could have been cured but perhaps not...and that’s the truth. This will haunt me.

Annoying Narration

From the outset, the narrator's creepy, whispered staccato got on my nerves. The story was not interesting and was totally predictable.

good BUT it's a heavy topic

I literally could not stop listening to the book. the tone of the narrator and amazing descriptions brought the book to life. the end could have been put together a little more seamlessly because I could sense something was off but none the less, still a good book beginning to end.
