I was given a courtesy copy in return for an honest review.I am a huge fan of Lily White’s work.  I am not as familiar with Dawn Robertson so I was not sure how the book would turn out.  I was not disappointed!  I love dark reads.  I love books that go against the norm, make me think, keep me guessing and make me want to read them again.  The Good Girl gave me all of this and more.  It is dark and emotional and throws you curves that you don’t see coming.Gabriel is a sociopath.  He is damaged from childhood events and always has demons in his head.  He is also obsessed with Eleni.  She is just as damaged, is an alcoholic and is full of self loathing.  Fate brings the two of them together.  Two tortured souls that have more in common than you know.  The result is a roller coaster ride of hatred, love, trauma and a little bit of hope.I loved this book; from the first page to the last.  I was drawn into the emotions and felt their pain, their struggles with the demons that haunted them and the small amount of hope that everything would turn out ok.  You will root for Eleni and might even root a little for Gabriel.  Even though he is a sociopath, the tiniest part of him wants to help Eleni.  Is he doing it out of the goodness of his heart or is there a more sinister reasoning behind it?  I don’t give spoilers, but encourage you to read the book and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did.
