The Girls Are All So Nice Here by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn

 

 The Girls Are All So Nice Here by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn  
Expected publication: March 9th 2021
 

 Ambrosia Wellington and Sully Sullivan were once college best friend's but a long ago buried secret tore the friendship apart.  Their 10 year college reunion is approaching and when Ambrosia receives a note slipped into her invitation she if left with no choice but to attend the reunion. 
 
She's scared, nervous and reluctant to go and would like nothing more than to put it all behind her however the threatening notes keep coming and her husband is insisting they attend.
Her husband is clueless about her mean girl days in college and she will be forced to juggle what who he thinks she was in college vs. who she was.
 
At the reunion the notes continue to pile up. Ambrosia and Sully quickly discover that they did not send the notes to one another and are the target of someone who wants to harm them for the destruction the heaved in their formative years.
 
The story is told in alternating chapters flipping from past to present and between characters. The characterization is distinct and pulls you into who the characters are and how they behave. The characters are vulnerable, insecure and sometimes downright ugly in personality, making them truer to life. Characters will fault and "unlikable" characters add depth to a book, making this a wickedly delicious read you will want at the top of your TBR pile. 

 You are going to want to pick up something not so dark after this read to rewind from the drama and mystic.
