A review by linguisticali
The Hysterical Girls of St. Bernadette's by Hanna Alkaf

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

This was well written and it handled the subject of sexual abuse sensitively (and with a reasonable trigger warning, which was nice to see). I like an ambiguously supernatural spooky situation (
ambiguous up to a point - the ending seems to support the supernatural interpretation)
. It captures the intensity of being a teenage girl in a way that feels relatable to me - a way of making sense of a world where you feel everything intensely but have so little control. Having been a stressed out teenage girl, I was stressed out by these stressed out teenage girls.
