Flawless Girls by Anna-Marie McLemore
4.5
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Flawless Girls is a mysterious, suspenseful, almost bordering on thriller story about a finishing school. It's about the confines of womanhood, of the cages girls are trained to inhabit. All the ways society will enforce our obedience, our empty gazes, and complacency. The myriad of ways we have to learn how to be a girl. In many ways, I loved Flawless Girls for its themes. For the ways McLemore examines and explores this specific image of girlhood, being unmoved, un-opinionated, and 'flawless'.
