This book was incredibly captivating. Yes, just like these girls seemed to have these extreme chokehold on their friendships, this book had a chokehold on me. I was intoxicated with how intoxicated they were with each other. Toxic relationships can start with those that we have with our family’s, but it can also start with the way we treat our friends. Girls are taught to socialize and be social creatures but aren’t warned at a young age of the severity we will hold onto those relationships. With morbid twist this book finds a fantastic way to capture just how badly girls get wrapped up in each other and each others lives and emotions so instantly and intensely.
