A review by rleibrock
American Girls by Alison Umminger

3.0

Really, this should be at least 3 1/2 stars. I loved this book on many levels, even if there particular plot points that were too absurd (for the overall story), or plot resolutions that were too neat. The writing felt fresh, and the point of view smart and believable with, ultimately, a tough emotional impact. Plus, lots of stuff about the Manson girls, and a secondary character who had to be based on Britney Spears or Demi Lovato or the like, so there's that.
