haleybd9 's review for:

The Girls by Emma Cline
4.0

I think this is a captivating book that clearly captures what it means to be taught not to trust yourself as a woman. I think there were many passages, toward the end of the book especially, that show this intrinsic embarrassment at existing.

A line I liked (p 282): “I knew just being a girl in the world handicapped your ability to believe yourself”

The book is amaze, maybe a little darker than what I typically read which is why I landed on 4 stars.
