About this listen

'No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield.' The Mirror

Shortlisted for The People's Book Prize

Who can you trust with your darkest secrets...

Everyone that meets Kat Keating is mesmerised. Beautiful, smart and charming, she is everything a good girl should be.

Her sister Eleanor, on the other hand, knows she can't compete with Kat. On the awkward side of tall, clever enough to be bullied, and full of the responsibilities only an older sibling can understand, Eleanor grows up knowing she’s not a good girl.

This is the story of the Keating sisters - through a childhood fraught with dark secrets, adolescent rivalries, and on into adulthood with all its complexities and misunderstandings. Until a terrible truth from the past brings the sisters crashing together, and finally Eleanor begins to uncover just how good Kat really was.

Good Girls is a mystery, a love story, a coming-of-age story, and a tear-jerker. But most of all it’s a reminder of who to keep close and who to trust with your darkest secrets. Perfect for fans of Jane Fallon, Celeste Ng, and Julie Cohen.

Not bad for a freebie!

If you’ve ran out of credits, this isn’t bad but I’m glad I didn’t purchase. Maybe too much going on and mentions a lot of sensitive issues but glosses over them as minor details.

Nicely written and well narrated.

Much better listen than I expected. A story with depth and some interesting family dynamics. The narration was generally good, but I do wish that narrators would listen carefully to accents before they embark on a reading . The South African accents were truly dreadful.

Absorbing story

I didn’t expect much of this book as free on audible plus but I really enjoyed it and listened to it almost in 1 go. The characters were well drawn and I grew to really care about the sisters and their narrative. A romantic and ultimately satisfying read.
