American Girls by Alison Umminger
3.0
3.5 stars
Surprisingly, although the main character was (intentionally) unlikeable, I really enjoyed this book. It made me think, especially about true crime content and how we frame perpetrators and victims, but also about growing up as a girl in general. It's complicated and messy and Umminger did a great job of highlighting that as well as discussing dysfunctional families and the impact even mild disfunction has on a developing person.
Not sure how much I would recommend this book....but I will be keeping it on my bookshelf if you ever want to take a look? I guess?
