This book kept me interested and I read it quickly. That's why I'm giving it two stars instead of one. However, it was also problematic for a few reasons. The book is advertised as a thriller but it really isn't. We're already told very early in the novel that Mia is found so there's no real suspense or buildup to anything. I kept reading in the hope that there would be a buildup to this big, unexpected reveal but it never came. There's a "twist" but I saw it coming a mile away. Also, the "twist" goes completely against Mia's character. 
 Which brings up another point. Why couldn't we get Mia's POV throughout the novel? This is a novel about her but her entire story is told from everyone else's POV until the last couple of pages. It's almost as if her POV and the "twist" were afterthoughts that were thrown in. 
 The biggest flaw was the racism. I wasn't sure if the author was trying to show the racism of the characters but as a POC reading this novel, I was irritated a lot. Indians don't speak good English, Somalis are apparently really dark, scary and criminal etc. People seriously should not think like this in 2014. 
 This novel keeps getting compared to Gone Girl but I found the latter to have much more compelling protagonists and better writing than The Good Girl.
