A review by syren1532
The Burning Girl by Claire Messud

2.0

Julia and Cassie have been friends since nursery school and do everything together but as they grow older they grow further apart and choose different paths. Julia is academic, on the speech team at school and destined for college while Cassie prefers to party and have fun. During part one of the book I got the impression that something awful had happened to Cassie and Julia felt responsible. This wasn't the case and the book is more a story of friendship and how things change as young people grow up and I feel the blurb was slightly misleading.
