The Quarry Girls by Jess Lourey
4.0

Every Town Has Its Secrets.

Pantown, St. Cloud, MN Summer of 1977.

Brenda, Meredith, and Maureen are best friends on the cusp of womanhood. This summer was supposed to be spent going to festivals, partying at the quarry and playing in their band, instead it will change their lives forever.

Girls around town are going missing and there’s a suspected serial killer on the loose. One night while exploring the tunnels under their neighborhood Brenda & Meredith see something that changes what they thought they knew about their town and the men in it. Who do you trust when you can’t trust anybody?

The Quarry Girls was heavy. Jess Lourey did an excellent job portraying the loss of innocence and the realization that you don’t truly know anybody.

This was the first book of hers that I’ve read but I will definitely read more.

I really enjoyed the tunnels under the neighborhood that connected all the houses! It’s creepy but interesting at the same time.

If you’re considering giving this a read then you do need to be aware of some TW/CW: SA, CSA, Mental Illness, Drug Abuse, Murder
