Synopsis
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 secrets, adolescent rivalries, and on into adulthood with all its complexities and misunderstandings. Until a terrible truth brings the sisters crashing together and finally Eleanor begins to uncover just how good Kat really was.

Brilliantly written
As always the characters are so well realised. A poignant , heartfelt story about family relationships. I couldn’t put it down….
I’ve followed Amanda’s writing career for a number of years, and always marvel at her understanding of human relationships. ‘Good Girls’ is another superb display of her considerable gifts.
A wonderful read and never wanted the book to end.
So cleverly and beautifully written that you don’t at first notice the underlying darkness. Definitely a great read.
Loved this book, wanted to see how it ended but didn’t want it to finish, a real page turner as always.
Amanda draws you into the story from the first page. Her portrayal of family relationships is so poignant and well observed.
Great book. Deserves to win.
Amanda’s a brilliant writer who understands exactly how families work.
I am totally one-sided, I admit, I have and will read any and all the books of Amanda. And, obviously, I do put her well in front of Joanna Trollope….
So happy I have discovered this excellent writer.
Amanda proves as good as ever at describing some of the minutiae and intricacies of life in a way that instantly resonates. The usual strong observations of families, human relationships and love are combined with some interesting propositions about the internet’s potential for deception.
Brilliantly written and such a good story.
Wonderful book which grabs you from the start and doesn’t let go!
Fabulous tight narration , glorious family plot, unexpected twists and believable characters .
I have loved this book. Amanda’s observation and description of human characteristics, emotions and feelings is always perceptive. Her books get better and better.
One of my favourite writers with her best book to date.
