The Burning Girl by Claire Messud

3.0

Best friends coming of age and drifting apart. One is very troubled. I never quite believed narrator’s voice. Might have been more effective from an adult perspective looking back. Still, I turned the pages quickly enough. There was some interesting commentary about girls growing into women and the loss of physical freedom that entails. I’d recommend this only for Messud fans.
