Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Thankfully I ignored the comparisons. The Good Girl definitely has a vibe similar to Gone Girl. Missing girl. Multiple narratives. The difference is I hated all the Gone Girl characters. (except perhaps the sister) I hated them and waited for every one of their lies and manipulations to be punished. The ending fell sadly short. I was left with no satisfaction. No, or little, retribution. The Good Girl is the polar opposite. I really liked the characters. Or most of them. I felt their struggles were real. Their interactions were real. The bad guys were developed enough to identify and dislike them, but the story is not about the bad guys. It's about surviving. Surviving trauma the began before and ended well after a kidnapping. p.s. the ending is thoroughly satisfying
