Good Girls Lie
Good Girls Lie | J. T. Ellison
Goode girls don't lie... Perched atop a hill in the tiny town of Marchburg, Virginia, The Goode School is a prestigious prep school known as a Silent Ivy. The boarding school of choice for daughters of the rich and influential, it accepts only the best and the brightest. Its elite status, long-held traditions and honor code are ideal for preparing exceptional young women for brilliant futures at Ivy League universities and beyond. But a stranger has come to Goode, and this ivy has turned poisonous. In a world where appearances are everything, as long as students pretend to follow the rules, no one questions the cruelties of the secret societies or the dubious behavior of the privileged young women who expect to get away with murder. But when a popular student is found dead, the truth cannot be ignored. Rumors suggest she was struggling with a secret that drove her to suicide. But look closely...because there are truths and there are lies, and then there is everything that really happened. J.T. Ellison's pulse-pounding new novel examines the tenuous bonds of friendship, the power of lies and the desperate lengths people will go to to protect their secrets.

Decent fast-paced thriller that keeps you guessing but if you are one who likes a believable story than this is not for you. It didn‘t have an earth shattering ending but was good story to take my mind off another crap week at work 😒Books are my absolute escape!!

An elite all-girls boarding school, a new student with a mysterious (possibly sinister) past, and lots and lots of secrets. I thought this was an entertaining roller coaster of a ride!

Backstabby all girls boarding school? ☑️ mysterious main character ? ☑️ unexplained deaths? ☑️ secret passageways and secret societies? ☑️ This book is right up my thriller/ unreliable narrator alley

BookDragonNotWorm I really liked this one, but was slightly disappointed by the way things ended at the school. 4y

I really enjoyed this one, despite being a bit disappointed by the direction it went. It was quick paced, tensely plotted, and kept my mind racing with thoughts about what must really be going on. Recommended for readers looking for a twisty thriller. Not recommended for readers who want a completely believable tale.

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐞 by 𝐉.𝐓. 𝐄𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 is a dark, atmospheric mystery set at a girls' boarding school in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Ellison employs girls competing for the power that popularity brings, secret societies, and lore about haunted areas of the school, along with murder and potentially unreliable narration for maximum effect. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⁣

An absolutely absorbing read. The boarding school setting has always been one of my favorites. Set in the mountains at an all-girls boarding school for the elite children of powerful socialites and politicians, this book did not disappoint. Throw in secret societies, mysterious deaths, a suspicious narrator, and this one could not be any more fun to devour.

4 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Did a 24 hour tv and electronics ‘fast‘. I didn‘t realize how much I‘ve been enjoying this book until I couldn‘t read it! I‘m thinking I have it somewhat figured out but Ellison does tend to do what you don‘t expect. Jumping right in now that I can use my Kindle again! 😛

I don‘t like to tell much about a book in a review because it ruins it for others, so I will just say this: Girls boarding school, rich and powerful girls, haunted tunnels, secret societies and murder. What else do you need in a book?

This has so many elements, first of all this takes place in a boarding school, and who doesn‘t love that setting. It has a rich British girl attending this school for the first time in Virginia. Oh and by the way everyone seems to die around her.

This propulsive character driven novel is well-sculpted and sublimely atmospheric—the setting was absolute perfection! What is it about boarding schools that is so intriguing? The writing is hypnotic, detailed and consuming. The solid narrative is framed by equally strong characters. Good Girls Lie is devious and delightful with plenty of back-stabbing, double-crossing, and plot twists. Ellison will have her readers engaged until the last page.

Another slightly delayed post- now that our winter blankets are on the bed, finishing a book there means I have to wait until morning!🤣 Thanks, #NetGalley, for the chance to read this boarding school thriller! This is a bit of a new direction for Ellison & I definitely enjoyed it! It‘s not my favorite of hers but the twists kept my attention- I had some right guesses & a few total shocks. A fast and fun read! #WinterGames #ReadNosedReindeer 6 pts

3.5 Stars The story kept me engaged, and I read it on a weekend. There were aspects, especially towards the end of the novel, that felt rushed and definitely “told rather than shown.“ I appreciated the author's note that explained the real-life inspirations. Overall, I'm still a fan of Ellison and look forward to reading more.

The Goode School is a prestigious American boarding school for all girls, one that can make your future bright.

We quickly learn things are not all “good” at The Goode School when a student is found dead...

A new girl is at Goode, and she has a past that she desperately wants to keep a secret. But, secrets can only be hidden for so long.

Fast paced and great ending!

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
