Bad Girls Never Say Die by Jennifer Mathieu
4.0
I truly feel like this novel glittered. Set in 1964 Houston, it follows Evie Barnes- a bad girl' from the 'bad side' of town. When she is saved from an assault by
someone known only to her as a rich 'teasipper', her worldview and idea of friendship comes into question.
Not only is Evie incredibly likeable, but so is the entire
surrounding cast. Every character in this book has depths
to them, and the world was created firmly and well. I really
loved how though it wasn't set in modern day, it was still
very accessible to a modern reader. I very quickly became
emotionally invested in Evie, Diane, Connie, Sunny and
Juanita. They felt real. And when I finished the book I felt
a great sorrow at having to leave them behind in their
world, unable to keep them in mine. The character arc was
brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed the plot. If you're a fan
of YA mystery or thriller but want something a little
lighter, this book is perfect for you.
