This is a favorite bit from the book:
We could never understand why the girls cared so much about being mature, or why they felt compelled to compliment each other, but sometimes, after one of us had read a long portion of the diary out loud, we had to fight back the urge to hug one another or to tell each other how pretty we were. We felt the imprisonment of being a girl. the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing which colors went together.

This book was so strange to read, but it ended up being quite rich and profound.

"It was the combination of many factors," Dr. Hor-nicker said in his last report, written for no medical reason but just because he couldn't get the girls out of his head.
"With most people," he said, "suicide is like Russian roulette. Only one chamber has a bullet. With the Lisbon girls, the gun was loaded. A bullet for family abuse. A bullet for genetic predisposition. A bullet for historical malaise.
A bullet for inevitable momentum. The other two bullets are impossible to name, but that doesn't mean the chambers were empty."
