Review of The Girls - Missalaneyus

The Girls

August 29, 2016 481 0

The Girls by Emma Cline is easily one of the most buzzed about books of the summer. I bought it a few weeks ago and finally cracked it open on our family vacation.

The story centers around Evie, who is drawn into a cult in the late 60’s. Inspired by Charles Manson and the murders his followers committed, the depiction of life on “the ranch” is chilling. The author moves between Evie’s perspective as an adult and as a fourteen year old.

So, what did I think?

Let me start by saying this book is very well written. It is also incredibly disturbing. As in, I’m still unsettled by this book. And, it’s been three days since I finished it. Overall, I liked it, but I will probably need about 15 romance/chick lit novels to flush this from system. Any recommendations?

So, over the last year, I have been stockpiling book recommendations. They run the gamut. Some are new-ish. Others have been out for awhile. They are all GOOD. (You will see a ton of mystery/thrillers, because that was what my book club was into last year.) Here’s what I thought of each one. Little Fires…

So, I’m a little late to the Crazy Rich Asians party. This book was recommended to me about a year ago by a friend, and I snapped it up pretty quickly. Then, I sort of forgot I had it – despite the fact that it’s been buzzed about for a while. And, I’m pleased to report…
