A review by vengefuldime
Margaret and the Mystery of the Missing Body by Megan Milks

This was an interesting idea. There are three main segments, with first, second, and third person narration. As the description says, there are elements of several different series such as girls' groups. Since I used to read a lot of those it felt very nostalgic while being its own thing. The main character is distinctly unreliable, which is a lot of fun to read. The protagonist spends a lot of time thinking on the relationships between gender, race, and eating (among others) which brings up interesting points, while struggling with intense body issues and attraction to girls. Towards the end, it felt like it wanted to be more of an essay, and I see the bones but lose interest. There is a moment where a character says, "This is like one of those tediously oversymbolic dreams", and yeah, kind of. There are a lot of parts stitched together, that sometimes clash.
