"I have loved getting a new JT Ellison book each year for the past few years! I am always entertained by her books, and Good Girls Lie did not disappoint. This book is a little slower-paced than the last few, but it is still just as full of great drama. <br/><br/>This book starts off really well, and I was so intrigued. As the title suggests, this book is full of lies, and it was fun to watch everything unravel. I did figure out some twists pretty early on, but I was still so wrapped up in the story that it didn't even matter. <br/><br/>Good Girls Lie begins and ends really well, and also kept my attention with everything in between. I loved the setting, and it sort of reminded me of The Furies by Katie Lowe (yet still very different). This was a good dramatic and twisty story, and I can't wait to see what JT Ellison does next!"

"Wow! I finished this book in one sitting. I love a good dark academia thriller and this one does not disappoint! Amazing that sociopathy is evident in 16 year old girls. This book had me hooked from the beginning and kept churning out twist after twist, until the Ultimate ending. <br/>Do not skip reading this one!"

"First off, thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin - MIRA, and J.T. Ellison for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Good Girls Lie is set at an elite all girls' boarding school where the girls are chosen for excellence and where excellence is expected, even demanded. New girl Ash arrives with secrets and many of the other characters have secrets as well that unfold over the course of the story. I have mixed feelings about this book - I really liked the setting, the interplay between the girls, and the how mean girls are sometimes mean because they have something to hide and/or feel secure. However, I did find the story to be slow in some places (though I was really engaged in others) and I found the ending (ie, the twist) to be too unbelievable and unsatisfying. Overall, it was an okay read but not one of my favorites."
