A review by jonezeemcgee
The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis

5.0

McGinnis tackles the darkest parts of humanity-rape culture, violence, bitterness, and insecurity with the same lyrical tenderness as she deals with the fragility of new friendships, relationships, and family amidst the politics of living in a small rural town. The loss in this book is as tangible as the vengeance. This book is everything I love about books. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Mindy McGinnis has my attention, and I can't wait to read more of her work.

Edit: upon rereading I think this mostly still holds up. However I probably would give it a 4.5.
