so-soThree women who find themselves trapped inside stories they know aren't their own and soon discover the sick twisted mind behind their made up stories. These women are smart, quick, and brave-quite the opposite of their captor.
The book started out interesting, and honestly I wish she would have continued with Celia‘s story instead of the two additional stories she added. The story was unlike anything I‘ve ever read, the end made me slam my book
pickA wild book 🫣
3.75/5
so-soGood Girls Don‘t Die has a truly unique and intriguing premise: what if you were “stuck” in your favorite murder/horror story genre? Would you follow the stereotypes or would you do the sensible things you say you‘d do from the comfort of your couch? Unfortunately my enjoyment of the story didn‘t go far past the cool premise. The characters were really annoying and pretty unlikable and the stereotypes were so heavy handed it became aggravating. ⬇️
pickOverall, this was a fun read. This really reads like a series of three short stories that then connect at the end. It‘s a little bit of a homage to what I‘m guessing are the author‘s favorite movie tropes. It‘s not a perfect book, there are plot holes and the antagonists were mustache twirly and not particularly well developed. If you want a tropey, almost silly, horror thriller with “good for her” vibes you may like this. 4⭐️
so-soCelia wakes up in a house with a husband & a daughter she doesn't recognise. When a nasty neighbour, who lives next door to the restaurant Celia supposedly owns, is murdered it looks like Celia is being primed to take the blame. Can she work out who she really is & who the killer is?
Allie has arranged to go to the beach for her birthday with friends Madison & Cam, however when the two friends' boyfriends tag along, Allie is annoyed. (Continued)
panThis book had so much potential. I absolutely loved the idea. But it was poorly executed. Every time I started getting a feeling for the story, it switched. Very disjointed. The ending was just humiliating. All the different ways this author could have gone and they decided to go with all white men are bad just because they are white men. Hopefully, a white man never tries to read this book. Rip. 1.5/5

This is unlike anything I‘ve ever read…a fresh idea…it takes genre mash-up to new never-before-seen heights. The story is intense and dynamic and I was so invested in how it would end…I couldn‘t listen fast enough. Unfortunately, the ending didn‘t completely come through for me. It was a little OTT and a little cheesy…sadly. Lisa Flanagan was fantastic…she made all three POVs sound different.
pickThis is really clever. Women caught in weird scenarios straight out of their favorite book genres.

pickSO MUCH FUN!! This is definitely a thriller-y horror story for book lovers. Three women wake up inside a scenario eerily similar to the books they enjoy reading: there‘s a Stepford Wives scenario, a Final Girls scenario, and a Hunger Games scenario. We get one woman‘s story at a time, then they converge. I couldn‘t stop reading it, so good! #spookySeptember
