About this listen

'No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield.' The Mirror

Shortlisted for The People's Book Prize

Who can you trust with your darkest secrets...

Everyone that meets Kat Keating is mesmerised. Beautiful, smart and charming, she is everything a good girl should be.

Her sister Eleanor, on the other hand, knows she can't compete with Kat. On the awkward side of tall, clever enough to be bullied, and full of the responsibilities only an older sibling can understand, Eleanor grows up knowing she’s not a good girl.

This is the story of the Keating sisters - through a childhood fraught with dark secrets, adolescent rivalries, and on into adulthood with all its complexities and misunderstandings. Until a terrible truth from the past brings the sisters crashing together, and finally Eleanor begins to uncover just how good Kat really was.

Good Girls is a mystery, a love story, a coming-of-age story, and a tear-jerker. But most of all it’s a reminder of who to keep close and who to trust with your darkest secrets. Perfect for fans of Jane Fallon, Celeste Ng, and Julie Cohen.

I loved listening to this book . Its about love and life and sadly death . its about 2 sisters that love each other , one becomes very ill but didnt tell her sister she was not going to make it . the character Vincent is not a nice man he became a vicar at 40 who was married to the best off mums , they had two young girls , good girls and the story revolves around their life's, Its a brilliant book a must to listen too

excellent listen

I really enjoyed this book and the characters. I sometimes get confused in books, if they go backwards and forwards in time and have too many characters, but this was just right. I could understand how each character felt and loved the literary references too. There were the usual couple of strange pronunciations, and some words that were cut off...presumably during editing.

Really thought provoking

Took a while to get into this, but in the end a very compelling story of love, loss, betrayal and forgiveness. Found the SA accent excruciating and made me dislike one of the characters even more, maybe that was the plan? I’ve also never been to a cremation and gotten the ashes at the same time. Just a detail, but nevertheless.

A slow burn
