Mackenzie, or “Mac,” always does what’s expected of her. Even though her parents barely acknowledge her (they're both far too busy for parenting), they are quick to let her know if she steps out of line. Although she was raised in immense privilege, she actually made significant money of her own creating two popular websites. But despite her desires to simply concentrate on this digital empire she's created, her parents want her to get a college degree and then marry her wealthy boyfriend, Preston.
Cooper is a local in the college town of Avalon Bay. He and his friends hate the way the “clones,” or the rich people, take over their town between the college and tourism, but their livelihoods depend on them. He’s a bad boy with a heart, someone who’s seen a lifetime of hurt and rejection in a short period of time.
When Mac meets Cooper, she’s already aware of his and his twin brother’s reputation as bad boy players. But there’s something more about Cooper that she can’t resist beyond his sexiness. It’s his combination of arrogance and vulnerability that makes her want to shake up her carefully ordered life. And the more Cooper gets to know Mac, the more he realizes she’s not just another rich clone, but she’s someone he can’t live without.
Cooper has a secret that could destroy Mac and her feelings for him. But even without it, can two people from such different worlds have any chance at happiness?
I thought Good Girl Complex was a really good read. I loved the banter between Mac and Cooper, and loved some of the side stories with Cooper’s brother and their uncle. As it often happens with romances, I knew exactly what would happen, but that didn’t matter. I just would’ve liked an epilogue, as the conclusion seemed a bit rushed.
I'm a fan of Kennedy's writing, as I've read a number of books she's written with Sarina Bowen, but this was my first book of hers that she wrote alone. I can’t wait for the next book in this series, Bad Girl Reputation, due out in the fall!
