However, it’s a skewed concept because we cannot please everyone we meet, no matter how hard we try. What is a good girl exactly?

Cooper is everything Mac should avoid, but the one thing she can't stay away from. She feels a draw to him from the beginning and he offers her the support and friendship no one else in her life does. Seeing the bad boy at the mercy of the good girl he never saw coming = swoon!
