I received a free eARC from Netgalley and Wednesday Books in exchange for my honest review.
WOW. This book was wonderful. There were so many twists and turns that I did not anticipate. I loved how the #MeToo movement played a role in their story. This is a great queer release that I will be recommending to so many folks!

It's my first read for Pride Month and I'm so glad to say I enjoyed it! Trouble Girls was a great read! It was dark, poetic, gritty, and poignant.
The overall story is a very real and heartbreaking example of what women go through because of terrible men. The characters were also compelling, and I was particularly moved by the MC's perspective. Also, it's very hard to explain it, but this book just makes you feel things. It takes you on such an emotional and haunting journey on finding freedom and love, and running from your fears. Overall, I enjoyed this one.
CW: sexual abuse/sexual harassment, rape, attempted rape, blood, gore (mild), domestic abuse, toxic relationships
Thank you so much to Wednesday Books for sending over an ARC! This, of course, did not affect my overall opinion of the book.
