The Girls Are All So Nice Here

 The Girls Are All So Nice Here by  Laurie Elizabeth Flynn 308 pages

Summary from Goodreads: A lot has changed in years since Ambrosia Wellington graduated from college, and she’s worked hard to create a new life for herself. But then an invitation to her ten-year reunion arrives in the mail, along with an anonymous note that reads, “We need to talk about what we did that night.”

It seems that the secrets of Ambrosia’s past—and the people she thought she’d left there—aren’t as buried as she believed. Amb can’t stop fixating on what she did or who she did it with: larger-than-life Sloane “Sully” Sullivan, Amb’s former best friend, who could make anyone do anything.

At the reunion, Amb and Sully receive increasingly menacing messages, and it becomes clear that they’re being pursued by someone who wants more than just the truth of what happened that first semester. This person wants revenge for what they did and the damage they caused—the extent of which Amb is only now fully understanding. And it was all because of the game they played to get a boy who belonged to someone else and the girl who paid the price.

Alternating between the reunion and Amb’s freshman year, The Girls Are All So Nice Here is a “chilling and twisty thriller” (Book Riot) about the brutal lengths girls can go to get what they think they’re owed, and what happens when the games we play in college become matters of life and death. 

And here's what I thought: I found Ambrosia to be annoying. I just want to get that out there right away. However, as annoying as I found her, I wanted to know what was going to happen to her. Maybe something really mean, which sounded like it would serve her right.  Yes, I'm awful - but I don't need to like a character to find them interesting enough to read a story.  Actually, I didn't like Ambrosia's friend Sully, either. And reading about their freshman year at college gave me flashbacks I didn't enjoy, either.  But I found the story interesting and because I was curious, kept reading to the end.

In a nutshell, this story is: Someone gets revenge on some mean girls. Finally.
