Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma
4.0
I don't really know what to say about Imaginary Girls. It was shocking, disturbing, and just plain weird. It left me in a daze. The main character, Chloe, doesn't have much of a personality on her own. She doesn't speak for herself really, she mostly just does and says what her sister, Ruby, tells her to. She is like a blank vessel for her sister, and she doesn't even realize it. That, to me, was highly disturbing.
This novel is a mysterious, supernatural type of story. The events in the novel get stranger and stranger as the story goes on. This novel has a certain quality that most YA novels don't have, I just can't pinpoint it. It was unique, an oddity among other YA novels. I liked that.
Although there were many things I liked about Imaginary Girls, there is one thing I didn't like. It felt like there were too many loose ties at the end. There wasn't much of an explanation of anything. I'm fine with leaving some things unexplained, because sometimes it can add to the story, but for this one it just felt a little unfinished.
Over all, Imaginary Girls was a good read. I would definitely recommend it.
