The Burning Girl by Claire Messud
4.0
A big fan of The Emperor's Children, I couldn't wait to read this one. And while it's much shorter, it's beautifully written and evocative in the same way.
The story centers around the friendship of two young girls. Messud perfectly captures the nuances of young female friendships- to me, this book couldn't have been more relevant. Her observations are at once astute and emotional, while she weaves a story with a plot that is at the same time compelling.
