Good Girl Complex When Mac arrives in Avalon Bay to appease her demanding parents with a college degree, she's perfected the art of being exactly what everyone expects—until she meets Cooper, a rough-around-the-edges local who makes her want to break every rule she's ever followed. Their friendship becomes unexpectedly real in a way nothing else in her carefully curated life has ever been, and soon Mac realizes she's falling for the one person who actually sees her. Cooper is equally blindsided by this wealthy girl who's nothing like the privileged tourists he usually dismisses, but keeping his world separate from hers comes with a secret that could shatter the only home Mac's ever truly found. It's a delicious slow-burn romance about shedding your good-girl armor and finding someone who loves all the messy, authentic parts of you underneath.
