I really wanted to love this book as I have enjoyed Courtney Summers other books but this one just didn't the way that her other ones do. I think part of the problem I had was this discussion that Courney Summers was trying to have about the situation of men exploring young girls (*cough* Epstein *cough*) for their own sexual satisfaction and what that does to a young girl. This book is written for a Young Adult audience so there is only so much that can really be discussed especially in this page count.
This book almost felt aimless to me when I was reading it. Georgia has this obsession with this club that her mother used to work and being one of the girls that works there in the executive suites. And while that is a focus of this book, it only really ties into whats in the cover synopsis at the end. It was trying to have the discussion I put above but also held back on discussing it. Which I completely understand as this issue is something that is hard to digest as an adult let alone a young person. I think this book was trying to show the manipulation tactics older predators will use to get girls to think this is okay but from the jump I could see what was going on.
I did like the fact that Georgia is a lesbian and identifies herself as such and I did think her relationship with Nora was interesting since they're trying to solve Ashley, Nora's younger sisters, murder.
I wish Georgia was a little more curious and not as hell bent as being one of these girls in this club. It becomes her whole personality and I couldn't see the girl she actually was beyond the "I hate my mother" rhetoric she kept spewing and her absolute obsession with the girls who worked at this club. I wish we had gotten more of her personality and who she was so we could feel some form of sympathy or connection to her even if she is supposed ot be an unlikable mian character.
I feel like the last scene in this book should have been impactful but I didn't feel satisfied.
Overall, I would say give this a try if you think the premise is interesting. I just thought this book felt aimless and didn't fully hit as hard as her others books did.
