I was supposed to attend an event with JCO at the end of May. The event was cancelled, but I wanted to still give her a try since I hadn‘t read her before.

So I started with this one. Foxfire is a girl gang that takes revenge on men that has treated them badly. The blurb made it sound like a book for me, but I didn‘t like the writing in this one. So after 93p read of 288p I‘m calling it quits.

AnneCecilie When I don‘t want to pick up the book to read it, I‘m taking the hint. I‘ve other books on loan from the library by her, so I might give her a second try. 4y
Lindy @AnneCecilie I haven‘t gotten on with JCO in the past, but I keep thinking it‘s only because I haven‘t yet found which of her books is for me. I thought Foxfire was a likely prospect, but now I am reconsidering. 4y

A group of progressive, take-no-shite girls take misogyny and sexual assault in the 50‘s. Like most JCO things escalate and turn dark quickly.

You know you're on vacation when you can lazily drink coffee and read at ease in the morning on a Thursday.
