"Darkly delicious . . . Nice Girls is about the girlhood we never really leave behind, and what happens when we dare to confront our past demons. A pulsating mystery with a narrator you won't soon forget." - Laura Dave, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Last Thing He Told Me
"If you're a total true crime addict, Catherine Dang's debut novel will have you hooked real fast." - Cosmopolitan
Recommended by New York Times Book Review - Entertainment Weekly - Cosmopolitan - Los Angeles Times - Harper's Bazaar - New York Post - E! Online - Bustle - Popsugar - CrimeReads - The Nerd Daily - PureWow - Mystery & Suspense Magazine - Criminal Element - and more!
A pulse-pounding and razor-sharp debut with the emotional punch of Luckiest Girl Alive and All the Missing Girls that explores the hungry, angry, dark side of girlhood and dares to ask: Which is more dangerous for a woman-showing the world what it wants to see, or who she really is?
What did you do?
Mary used to be such a nice girl. She was the resident whiz kid of Liberty Lake, Minnesota-the quiet, chubby teen with the scholarship to an Ivy League school. But three years later, "Ivy League Mary" is back-a thinner, cynical, restless failure who was kicked out of Cornell at the beginning of her senior year and won't tell anyone why. Taking a job at the local grocery store, Mary tries to make sense of her life's sharp downward spiral.
Then beautiful, magnetic Olivia Willand goes missing. A rising social media star, Olivia is admired by everyone in Liberty Lake-except Mary. Once Olivia's best friend, Mary knows better than anyone that behind the Instagram persona hides a willful, manipulative girl with sharp edges. As the town obsesses over perfect, lovely Olivia, Mary wonders if her disappearance might be tied to another missing person: nineteen-year-old DeMaria Jackson, whose case has been widely dismissed as a runaway.
Who is the real Olivia Willand, and where did she go? What happened to DeMaria? As Mary pries at the cracks in the careful facades surrounding the two missing girls, old wounds will bleed fresh and force her to confront a horrible truth.
Maybe there are no nice girls, after all.

"Dang captures the surface cynicism a young college student like Mary would adopt to mask the flameout of potential, itself the product of simmering rage against multiple forms of alienation, particularly of a class variety. . . . But Dang smartly pivots the novel into a greater reflection of savior complexes and the ways we can be blinded by projected images rather than remaining true to ourselves." - New York Times Book Review
"A thriller that offers a tongue-in-cheek take on the idea of "Minnesota nice," this story is about a girl who moves back to her Midwestern hometown and finds herself wrapped up in the murder of a local social media star." - Entertainment Weekly, 15 Must-Read September Books
"If you're a total true crime addict, Catherine Dang's debut novel will have you hooked real fast. It follows a nice girl turned cynical failure who mysteriously got kicked out of college her senior year. When she meddles in the cases of two missing girls, she ends up facing a devastating truth." - Cosmopolitan, 15 Compelling Fall 2021 Books to Add to Your Reading List
"Nice girls don't get kicked out of college in their senior year, they don't move back to the hometown they swore to escape from and they definitely don't get involved in the disappearance of their childhood frenemy. But that's exactly what Mary does in this engrossing and sharp debut that true crime fans will devour faster than an episode of My Favorite Murder." - E! Online

"True crime fans, this one is for you." - Popsugar, Books You'll Want to Read ASAP
"Catherine Dang is an asset to the woman's suspense genre. She layers the story so it builds and slowly lets the reader in . . . It was hard to put down and easy to imagine myself in the dark and gritty setting, with two specific parts of town. Nice Girls talks about anxiety, depression, and the importance of mental health. It points out racism in the police force and the media, and inequality in the way crimes are investigated. It brought up many important points while also being an exciting and mysterious read. I recommend this debut to lovers of All The Missing Girls and Luckiest Girl Alive." - Mystery & Suspense Magazine
