Ugly Girls: A Novel | Lindsay Hunter

Pickpick

This is a dark, gritty book about two teen girls who get in over their head. You can feel how dirty their world is. You can smell the sweat on their bodies. While the focus is often on their physical appearances, it‘s really about the ugliness and darkness that lurks within. The normal teen anxieties and insecurities are exacerbated by the bleakness of their surroundings. The narrative didn‘t entirely work for me, but I liked it overall.

""Hey," Jim said, trying to force some kindness into his voice, but still the word landed like an embroidered turd."

Oh jeezus, I wish someone had trigger-warned me about the parent-child incest. Time to smoke until the bad memories go away. 🙃

This book explores themes of isolation, despair and what it means to be a girl. You want gritty and powerful words, this is it!

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sounds like an interesting read! 8y
Notafraidofwords @Riveted_Reader_Melissa one of my top favorite reads. She captures girl friendships and jealousy so well. She is one hell of a writer. 8y
