My Thoughts & Opinions
The Maze Runner meets The Stepford Wives in Christina Henry’s latest novel. The novel combines three stories, each from a different woman’s point of view. The stories don’t seem to be related in the beginning, and that’s probably the draw of the novel — to find out how each story is connected to each other.
The novel was engaging until the three stories interconnected. After that, the novel just lost its steam. And with a surreal and underwhelming finale, it just wasn’t what I had hoped for. It might have been better if each of the three stories were developed on their own instead of attempting to connect the dots after the fact.
I enjoyed all of the characters in the novel. Each of them were fully developed and I liked how author Henry was able to cross generational gaps in each of her characters — projecting both mature adult and college student personalities into each of them.
Overall, Good Girls Don’t Die was a satisfactory read worthy of three solid stars. I recevied a DRC from Berkley Publishing Group through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
