About the Book
Mackenzie Cabot has spent most of her twenty years pleasing the other people around her so she is going to Garnet College in the expensive beachside town of Avalon Bay in South Carolina when she would really rather focus on her growing internet business; Cooper Hartley is a local boy who usually tends bar and disdains the rich, spoiled college kids he sees every day--but MacKenzie and Cooper fall for each other, until money and family come between them.Book Synopsis
Full of romance, hijinks, and longing, Good Girl Complex is Elle Kennedy at her very best.
She does everything right. So what could go wrong? Mackenzie "Mac" Cabot is a people pleaser. Her demanding parents. Her prep school friends. Her long-time boyfriend. It's exhausting, really, always following the rules. All she wants to do is focus on growing her internet business, but first she must get a college degree at her parents' insistence. That means moving to the beachside town of Avalon Bay, a community made up of locals and the wealthy students of Garnet College. Twenty-year-old Mac has had plenty of practice suppressing her wilder impulses, but when she meets local bad boy Cooper Hartley, that ability is suddenly tested. Cooper is rough around the edges. Raw. Candid. A threat to her ordered existence. Their friendship soon becomes the realest thing in her life. Despite his disdain for the trust-fund kids he sees coming and going from his town, Cooper soon realizes Mac isn't just another rich clone and falls for her. Hard. But as Mac finally starts feeling accepted by Cooper and his friends, the secret he's been keeping from her threatens the only place she's ever felt at home.Review Quotes

Super cute story and I would consider guilty pleasure! This is an easy read that sucks you in quickly and even has other books in the series that do the same. Cute story, easy to read, and likable characters. If you like a typical romance then you will really like this. I think it’s a great gift idea also!

"Good Girl Complex" by Elle Kennedy is a delightful, opposites-attract romance that follows the journey of Mackenzie "Mac" Cabot as she breaks away from her people-pleasing ways and finds herself in the beachside town of Avalon Bay. Meeting the hottie, bad boy, Cooper Hartley, Mac discovers a sizzling connection that challenges her preconceptions as well as his. The book is filled with steamy tension, engaging banter, and charming secondary characters. While the concept is familiar, the story remains enthralling, making it a worthwhile read. Despite my initial concerns about relating to college-aged characters, the book proved enjoyable and having me wish I could escape to this picturesque coastal town. Elle Kennedy's storytelling talent shines through, and readers will be eager to explore more of her works as am I. Overall Rating: 3.5/5 Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Oh my, this book was what my soul needed. Mac's kick-butt, independence draws you in from the very beginning and the contrast of her and Cooper are on point and on fire from the very beginning. I flew threw this book and now need to read every single Elle Kennedy novel I can get my hands on. I absolutely loved this. I will 100% recommend this to anyone and everyone. So great!
