Good Girl Complex

Autor Elle Kennedy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2022

Ce se întâmplă când dorința de a fi „fata bună” intră în coliziune cu nevoia viscerală de libertate? În Good Girl Complex, notăm cu interes miza psihologică a lui Mackenzie „Mac” Cabot, o tânără care și-a petrecut întreaga viață suprimându-și impulsurile pentru a satisface așteptările părinților. Mutarea în orașul de coastă Avalon Bay pentru facultate nu este un act de rebeliune, ci o ultimă concesie făcută familiei, până când îl întâlnește pe Cooper Hartley. Considerăm că forța acestui roman rezidă în dinamica tensionată dintre lumea privilegiată a lui Mac și realitatea brută, candidă, a lui Cooper – un localnic care vede în studenții bogați doar niște clone trecătoare. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Elle Kennedy utilizează tropul „opposites attract”, transformând o atracție fizică inevitabilă într-o explorare a identității. Ritmul este alert, specific stilului care a consacrat-o pe autoare în seria Off-Campus, dar aici tonul devine mai intim, axat pe contrastul dintre aparențe și secretele care pot distruge o fundație emoțională fragilă. Forța narativă a lui L. J. Shen combinată cu sensibilitatea explorată în The Deal se regăsește și aici, însă Elle Kennedy oferă un glas propriu acestei noi serii, pendulând între momente de umor și o tensiune senzuală constantă. Față de lucrările anterioare precum The Score sau The Mistake, unde sportul era motorul acțiunii, Good Girl Complex se ancorează mai profund în conflictul de clasă și în procesul dureros de maturizare a unei eroine care învață, în sfârșit, să spună „nu”.

Despre autor

Elle Kennedy este o autoare canadiană de succes, prezentă constant în topurile New York Times și USA Today, fiind licențiată în engleză la Universitatea York. Recunoscută la nivel internațional drept „regina romanelor de dragoste cu hocheiști”, ea a cucerit publicul prin seria Off-Campus, tradusă în peste douăzeci de țări.

Descriere scurtă

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.
