4.0

Really great read, I enjoyed it from the start to finish. Every time I picked it up I was so invested in finding out what happened next. Cline organizes the book in a manner of flashbacks and the present day, which I liked, but I think I would be more invested in finding out even more about her time with the girls and Russel. Also, I feel like she introduces characters in the 'present' chapters without going into much depth, which makes me think that said characters did not have to be introduced... 
Regardless, "The Girls" had been on my TBR list for ages and I'm really so glad i was able to finally read it!
