i love it! it didn’t glorify any abuse the characters went through and shows that it’s hard to leave abusive relationships. 
it’s filled with the found-family-trope, friendships, romance, funny characters and action! i did cry a couple times but found a new favorite character: Iris Moulton. i love her <3

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.
