The five Lisbon girls are the treasures of their town. They fascinate young boys and their tale survives even after they killed themselves. I have no idea what I just read or what the conclusion of the book is. It is a strange and mysterious story filled with trauma.

Great read, really wishing we could have seen the sisters view/ from the inside of the house

they only had each other especially after Cecilia died; the boys were obsessed with the idea of them treating all the sisters like as one shiny, interesting object never really understanding what they were going through or their cry’s for help, I think in the end the girls knew that which is why they invited the boy over for their last night. The parents where no better keeping them isolated from the world.
