Explanation Conducive To Books The Good Girl
I've been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her groceries, where she works. I don't know the color of her eyes or what they look like when she's scared. But I will. One night, Mia Dennett enters a bar to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn't show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic stranger. At first Colin Thatcher seems like a safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia's life. When Colin decides to hide Mia in a secluded cabin in rural Minnesota instead of delivering her to his employers, Mia's mother, Eve, and detective Gabe Hoffman will stop at nothing to find them. But no one could have predicted the emotional entanglements that eventually cause this family's world to shatter.List Appertaining To Books The Good Girl

2.7 Rating Jaw Dropping enthralling? No! Pulsates with Suspense? No! Heart-pounding mystery? No! 'FAIR' READ? Yes! I kept thinking if *Annie*, (kidnapped in the novel, "STILL MISSING"), and *Mia*, abducted in "The Good Girl", met for coffee, they'd become GREAT FRIENDS.... sharing 'CABIN STORIES' together. haha! The writing style in "The Good Girl" --starts off engaging in the beginning-- then soon becomes annoying. Its no longer a novelty to see an author write a novel from three differentMia Dennett - an inner-city art teacher who grew up in a wealthy, prominent Chicago family - is abducted by Colin Thatcher, a low-level thug who collects debts and does odd jobs for his criminal employer. Instructed to kidnap Mia and hand her over, Colin snatches the girl. He then has a change of heart and takes Mia to a primitive cabin in the Minnesota woods where he holds her for months. The living conditions are horrific: it's freezing; bathing and clothes-washing are minimal, so their bodies
A Killer Debut Novel! Mary Kubicas THE GOOD GIRL will keep you entranced from the first page to the lastwhere nothing is, as it appears. A world of four desperate, and complex characters, with more in common than they may think. THE GOOD GIRL takes readers from the vibrant city of Chicago to a remote rustic cabin in the forest during the cold winter of Minnesotawhere two people learn to trust one another. An intense and thought-provoking novel, ideal for book clubs and discussions. Readers will
Can I add my favorite non-sequitur please? Mia "sprawls squeamishly" on the shrink's couch. Please can someone physically demonstrate this to me cuz I
Honestly? I hated this book.The characters were flat and unlikeable, the plot was boring. Everything was a cliche. The worst part is that it was pretty racist. One of the characters, who is black, is described as having "serpentine eyes" and being wild and unpredictable and physically threatening. The author- multiple times- mentioned whether or not there were black people around SPECIFICALLY to indicate the level of danger or the niceness of the neighborhood. It's pretty unbelievable that the
The Good Girl by Mary Kubica was a well written debut novel with a plot that is intereting enough to keep the reader turning the pagesThe story is told from multiple perspectives and is quite easy to follow. This is the sort of book that provides enough suspense to keep you reading and yet by the end you finish with a somewhat sigh of relief and while it was good you are left feeling it could have been better if..................While I liked the book I kept comparing it to Still Missing which I
This book, like many others, is recommended for fans of Gone Girl, but I think if you gave it some different marketing and a younger protagonist, you could easily slot this in among the YA/NA romances. If this book hadn't been the only one I was carrying on a flight, I doubt I would have finished it. The sluggish pacing is more suited to quiet family dramas than thrillers, and yet the characters' lack of depth paired with trope after trope make it fail as a worthy contribution to that sub-genre
