About this audiobook

"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.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Griffin.

Ratings and reviews

This is a brand new series and I am here for it. Do NOT mistake this cover for a light romance. Cooper Hartley is HOT! A regular town bad boy who is a twin. The scene in the first chapter drew me in and set the stage for the whole book. It's opposites attract... poor/wealthy. good girl/wild boy. If you like a little revenge, you'll see that here to. Despite their differences, they really could relate to each other in a lot of ways. Cooper's comebacks and banter was perfection. He really knew how to push Mac's buttons and she really deserved it sometimes. Part of this story is like a car crash waiting to happen and my heart was racing through a lot of it with all the suspense. There were characters that drove me nuts too. I can't wait for more!
