Nice Girls by Catherine Dang

 

Hello my lovely readers!

I saw this on Libby and thought I'd give it a try....but it didn't leave a lasting impression. Let's get into it.

SYNOPSIS
Mary used to be a nice girl. She was the quiet, chubby teen with the scholarship to an Ivy League school and the resident whiz kid of her hometown in Minnesota.

Three years after her high school graduation, she returns home as a thinner, cynical and restless failure who was kicked out of Cornell at the beginning of her senior year and won't tell anyone why. Now as she begins work at the local grocery store, Mary tries to make sense of her life's sharp downward spiral. 

But then her once best friend, Olivia goes missing. The town obsesses over her disappearance but Mary wonders if her disappearance is tied to another missing girl, DeMaria, whose case has been dismissed as a runaway.

Mary pries at the cracks of the tow missing girls and will force her to confront horrible truths. Maybe there are no nice girls, after all.
