Publisher's summary

"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.

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.

Not enough Joe

I love Joe ardens voice, but what is the point of a dual POV if the girl is going to use a fake man voice and the man is going to use a fake girl voice? There wasn’t enough Joe in this for me.

To show this girl she didn’t waste her heart on me”

I loved this book. I couldn’t stop listening, but the ending definitely snuck up on me. I feel like we got a great ending, but I need more. I hope this becomes a series or at least follows some of the other friends in the group so we get more of their stories!

So freaking good!

My first Elle Kennedy book! I love the story! It’s sassy, romantic, witty and just freaking good!

Cooper is my new book boyfriend! 😊
Of course I love Mackenzie for her brain, sass and wit!

Joe & Ava did a really great job of bringing these characters to life! 💗

Elle Kennedy Does It Again!

Elle Kennedy has become a go to for me for a great story to listen to on audible! Her stories never disappoint, and the narrators always do a great job! This book was no exception!
I loved this story so much! The spice wasn’t over the top, and the college like drama was just enough! I couldn’t stop listening. Ava and Joe did so good with their narration that I was completely engaged! I highly recommend this audiobook for anyone who wants a romantic and fun book!

Predictable and Mildly Spicy

Spice factor 3/5
Story 2/5

Not the best, but still enjoyable. Narrators’ voices matched the characters well.

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.
