The Girls: A Novel | Emma Cline

Mehso-so

I debated about the rating for this one, but stylistically it's gorgeous. I thought it could have benefitted for being either much further from the source material, or a much closer true crime fiction. Overall it's a great summer read and I'm excited for Cline's eventual sophomore publication.

This book is a little nugget of perfection. The characters, and the dynamics between them, are rich and deep and well-executed. It's a fantastic dramatic family portrait.

'"Refilling your creative cup" means different things to different people, but to me it looks a lot like watching Doctor Who marathons or reading David Sedaris books while screaming "WHY DO YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY?"'
