    About this audiobook

    Two former best friends return to their college reunion to find that they’re being circled by someone who wants revenge for what they did ten years before—and will stop at nothing to get it—in this “propulsive” (Megan Miranda, bestselling author of The Girl from Widow Hills) psychological thriller.

    A lot has changed 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 Ambrosia’s past—and the people she thoughts 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” (Book Riot) “page-turner” (Entertainment Weekly) 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.

      Meh. It was boring and predictable, didn’t get interesting until the last couple chapters but that didn’t make up for the rest. The characters were unlikeable and unrelateable. I almost quit a few times - wish I had.

      Pretty good. Kept me thoroughly entertained during my commute to work. Also liked the narrators. Some books were difficult to finish because the narrators were irritating.

      Ambrosia "Amb" Wellington has just received an invitation to the 10 year reunion at her alumni College, Wesleyan. A place in her past that she never had any intentions of revisiting. However, with constant nudges from her husband Adrian and her best friend Billie, the reunion seems to be inevitable. Ambrosia braces for a step back into her dark past, hoping upon hope that her true colors remain hidden from her husband. See, Ambrosia and one of her closest friends at Wesleyan, Sloane "Sully" Sullivan were anything but good natured college students. In fact, they were downright nasty. They were the mean girls. Ambrosia has changed and put the past events behind her. Unfortunately,  someone from the past knows something and is determined to get their message across. When notes and clues start popping up randomly suggesting that the truth is about to surface before the weekend is up, Ambrosia not only regrets her decision to attend the reunion, but also starts questioning her past choices. Can she figure out who is behind the threats before everything in her life crumbles before her very eyes?
      Thank you Netgalley, Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, and Simon and Schuster for the opportunity to read and review this book. Though I thought the plot was really good, I hated the two main characters, but it was more that I hated how down right vicious and cold hearted they were. The storyline itself was very dark and twisted, which is actually the type of book I love. The story goes back and forth between the past and present day which helped bring the story together. As toxic and revolting as some of the characters were, it definitely delivers a shock value. If you're into dark psychological thrillers I would definitely suggest you check this book out! I rate this ⭐⭐⭐⭐

      It’s not the best thriller drama I read but like the movie Mean Girls, I couldn’t stop reading it.

      Amazing narration! Bad writing, stay away if easily annoyed by “Pick Me” characters

      Was in it all the way to the end and I’m just kinda left mad. Wish there was a sequel that could make up for it but I guess we will see.
    • 4/5
      A bit predictable but still exciting & really made you get emotionally invested & I found myself yelling at the protagonist frequently lol, definitely a good read.
    • 2/5
      The ending was so predictable. The plot was okay but so repetitive. Wouldn’t read again :(
    • 2/5
      Well, the book certainly held my attention but it didn't leave that certain thrilling aspect you hope to read in a thriller genre novel. While the story was captivating enough to hold your attention and stick around for what comes next its main message was not to thrill the audience but speak volumes about today's uproar in narcissistic individuals. Aside from that, it asks us, readers, the question; in real today's issues we all need to take count of I think the girls are also nice here is a generational novel I can teach a lot about the links people really do take order to achieve what they want without any empathy or care for anybody who stands in their path.

    • 4/5
      I love high school drama and college drama is just as good. Hell i just love drama, not my own tho. This book is definitely college mean girls. This book goes between now, at the 10year reunion and freshman year at college. The drama caught me up in this book from the first page. I liked Ambrosia but Sully was an interesting mean girl. I like this book so much, i can relate to Ambrosia. Doing whatever the cool girl wants, she's no different that so many of us out there, as much as we hate to admit that. OMG this ending, are you fking kidding me.

      What the fuck did I just listen to. Worst ending ever.

    • 1/5
      I did not like this book at all. The main characters were too unlikable. The husband was so annoying, he cared about way to much that he just shouldn't have cared about. Everyone was beyond whiney and the ending was so anticlimactic. 1 star.
