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.

"2.5⭐<br/><br/>I have mixed feelings on The Girls Are All So Nice Here. I was very interested at the beginning, and the story was mysterious. It's a fairly fast-paced read, and I kept wanting to see what happened. Eventually, it went off the rails, and got really far-fetched. I probably would not have picked this book up if there were more details in the synopsis. Rape and suicide seemed to be added in for shock value, and suicide storyline is gratuitous. The story was missing some depth and characterization, and the ending felt contrived. However, I was still interested enough to finish the book, and I liked the overall concept. <br/><br/>CW - fatphobia, cheating, drug usage, bullying, rape, suicidal ideation, suicide (detailed), mentions of overdosing"
"Dark, brutal and ultimately perfectly constructed."

"Easy to keep up with the past and present time changes, you find yourself in rooting for the downfall of the ones you’re meant to support. "

"I kept hoping that the twist would reveal itself to be something more believable than what it was; this book requires you to suspend an incredible amount of disbelief. Usually I can just go along with it but all the characters were flat, including the two protagonists that were “fleshed out”. 4.5/10, pace was fast so I’m not mad at it"
