The Girls by Emma Cline
3.0
Is this book loosely based on the Manson girls...yes it is.
What I liked about it was the way she gave the main character a voice explaining how teenage girls would be so susceptible to manipulation and the insecurities plaguing that demographic. She isn't excusing the perpetrators of the murders, but she is providing more of a backdrop of how someone could get to the point of committing inexcusable crimes.
