I’m not sure how to summarise it. You NEED to read it yourself if you’re at all into mysteries and horror and the dread of growing up. It is gore galore, so it could be a bit much for those who don’t have much of a stomach for that.

Our main cast of characters are fascinating. Kat, Rae and Donna all have unique flaws and yet fit together incredibly well, and it is devastating to learn what actually happened to them, and the fact that they will never live their full lives. The only thing missing for me was more exploration of the girls' sexuality and identity - there are some fairly heavy handed hints with respect to these issues, but none explored fully, though perhaps there just wasn't time for that in this book.
For anyone who wants to read this, be aware that there is graphic description of self-harm by
