The Society for Soulless Girls by Laura Steven
2.0
Content warning: unsolved murder, assault, violence, self harm, suicide/suicidal thoughts, possession, animal death cat killed , misogyny, sexism, domestic and sexual abuse, attempted grooming
I felt like this was trying to do too much. The pacing felt so slow, even during the parts that should have been exciting/kept me hooked as the mystery ramps up, I just felt that it was the same as when things were still slow and starting out. The end felt like Steven was trying to cram social commentary, but the lead up to this hadn't really set things up for that. I didn't really click with either of the main characters, and felt that their friend was also kind of crammed into the story without getting much development.
