Can’t Wait Wednesday – GOOD GIRL COMPLEX by Elle Kennedy
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in since I first started blogging, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is GOOD GIRL COMPLEX by Elle Kennedy. This one is calling to me because of the college setting and the good girl meets bad boy trope.
GOOD GIRL COMPLEX by Elle Kennedy
Publication Date: February 1, 2022 by St. Martin’s Griffin
From Goodreads:
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. Unlike most twenty-year-olds, all she really 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.
Mac’s 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.

I’d love to hear what upcoming book releases you’re waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me your link in the comments below and I’ll stop by and check out your CWW selection for this week. 🙂
Ohhh this one sounds good, I haven’t heard of it before but I’m always here for college setting and good girl meets bad boy! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
You’re welcome! 🙂
I love that “bad boy Cooper” has a tattoo on his arm, lol. This sounds like fun!
It looks like the anchor on Popeye’s arm too, lol.
Despite cringing at the fact that yet another author has fallen prey to the illustrated cover trend (make it stop!), I’m still excited to see a new title from her. It’s been a while since I read a new adult story.
It seems to be a trend that is here to stay. I don’t usually mind them but this one isn’t the best.
It’s Kennedy, so I immediately added it to my TBR, but it’s also sort of different from all the books I have read from her. Very curious to see how it goes with this one.
I’ve not read anything from her yet so I’m pretty excited to try this one.
I added this book to my TBR when I first learned about it. I can’t wait to get my hands and eyes on it.
Hopefully we’ll both love it. 🙂
This does sound like a fun one! Love that it’s set in a beachside town. 🙂
Me too. That setting is a huge draw for me.
I’ve just started reading Elle Kennedy, and I’m looking forward to this one too!
I haven’t read anything from her yet so I’m excited to try this one. 🙂
Ooh, now I want to know what his secret is!
Right? Me too! It sounds like a big one.
Mac and Cooper sound like they have the most intense realtionship in this, and there’s a secret to deal with to boot. Whew. I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
Thank you!
Sounds like an interesting read.
I really hope it will be. 🙂
This sounds like it would be a fun romance, definitely my kind of book! thanks for sharing!
Hope you are having a lovely weekend 🙂 I had a fun night out with friends yesterday!
You’re welcome! 🙂
This sounds like a great read, adding to my TBR too 🙂
Hopefully we’ll both love it. 🙂
