Wavering between 3 and 4 on this one. On the one hand, the beginning introduction to the works of Anna Granite (an ever so thinly veiled Ayn Rand-like author/philosopher) was extremely boring to me and not interesting. But then, once we move past that, and begin to hear the life stories of the two "girls" (by now grown women in their late 20s/early 30s), the writing is great and the story becomes something something completely different.
It's a very dark book. There is a lot of rape and difficult sex scenes. If you can handle that, it's worth reading for the vivid and realistic descriptions of the two girls' childhoods/teen years. It will really make you think about how people become who they are as adults.

This book punches you repeatedly in the solar plexus with the full force of human horribleness. It's also about sympathy, connection, and understanding.
