The Girls I've Been is immersive and burns rubber the entire ride, which makes it a quick read. I enjoyed nearly everything about it, especially how much deeper the plot became outside of the surface level bank robbery. That said, I found some of the flashback scenes a bit hard to buy given the age of the main character is always referenced but never quite feels true-to-age for these sections. Granted, Nora is forced to grow up fast, but I still had a hard time suspending my disbelief.

I really enjoyed this book about a girl who was forced to be anything but for her entire life. It was exciting and thrilling and dramatic and sad. A great YA thriller about a smart girl who finally becomes herself.

4.75/5 stars

this was so freaking good. i was gripped for the ENTIRE book which i don’t think has ever happened. and the climax was still climactic somehow. at one point, there’s a fire and the narrator is describing the smoke and i swear i could see smoke in the room i was in and smell it agh it was so well done. 
i knew going into this that it dealt with abuse but i didn’t realise how much… so here are some trigger and content warnings:
- psychological & emotional abuse by a parent
- r*pe (not graphic)
- child m*lestation (mentioned a few times)
- gr*oming (mentioned)
- domestic violence and abuse
- family violence
- child abuse
- s*xual assault
- guns
- bullying
- fbi/police
- abortion (mentioned)
i might have missed some but yeah, there was a lot of heavy stuff but nothing very graphic and it wasn’t the whole focus of the story.
i thought the depiction of being a survivor was very accurate, especially the thoughts the mc had and the way she talked about it with her therapist. also the therapist was GREAT which i loved. and healing was a big part of it, like after the trauma she experienced she didn’t just get better straight after. 
if anyone happens to read this review and wants more detailed content warnings please message me!! 
but i loved this book so so much, it was almost impeccable.

I found parts of this novel slow to read, but the more I read, the more I enjoyed it. I wish the character's backstory came first, instead of alternating between the present-day chapters, because I found it hard to keep track of what each girl's story was. 

Despite all of this, I really liked a lot of aspects of this story; the LGBTQ+ representation, endometriosis awareness, and an intriguing protagonist. The opening sentence was gripping too!

A great read.
