Bad Girls Never Say Die by Jennifer Mathieu
4.0
This is a book about the power, and importance, of friendships and how girls are the strongest thing in the world. No matter wealthy or poor, the girls in this book are badass, smart, tough, and loving -- and the challenges they face show the extreme heterosexism and misogyny of the time (1960s) that rings painfully true today.
Only 4 stars as there was a majorly missed opportunity to showcase queer characters and relationships that was completely ignored.
The only romance is a straight relationship only ever talked about, so you never have to be steeped in it (although it does end up becoming the central story and impetus). Ultimately, this book is about friendship and the lengths girls will go to protect their own.
