It’s the story of Starr Carter, an African American teenage girl who lives in a “thug” neighborhood but goes to an upper-class, white private school. The Hate U Give is one of my favorite Black Lives Matter books and one of my all-time favorite audiobooks (seriously, it reads like a movie). Goodreads Choice Awards Best of the Best.There are school politics, secret societies, Honor codes, haunted histories in a sprawling mid-Atlantic campus, and everything you can want from a book set in school, as you wait to learn who lives and who dies and more importantly - who is behind it all. With this type of storytelling, it’s hard to know who to believe - and that’s part of what makes Good Girls Lie unputdownable. The story is told from numerous perspectives in small tidbits, laying out a trail of breadcrumbs for the reader to follow as the truth unfolds. But that’s not nearly the only death at issue in this twisted novel.
SO much happens in this psychological thriller set at a girls’ boarding school in Virginia after British student Ash Carr arrives on campus.Īt the outset, the reader learns that someone is dead - hanging from the school gates, but the who, why, and how is unknown. Good Girls Lie is one wild ride that you won’t be able to put down by the last one hundred pages.
