A review by blaesgreen
The Girls by Emma Cline

dark emotional tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I loved this. It is outrageous, but so are cults. The writing is extraordinary and she really captures place (California) and time (present + majority 1969) so well.
