A story that gets lost in its own words I have mixed feelings about this book. I picked it up because of the hype (kudos to Cline's publishing team) and the first few pages were really impressive. I don't read a lot of literary stuff like this, and Cline's words were mesmerizing at first. Every sentence perfectly and poetically constructed. You could take any snippet from this book, post it anywhere, and it would be obvious how strong a writer Cline is, without even knowing what the story was about.But then it be. "The Girls" according to Susan Barton, Reviewer. I was so excited to read this book, yet I wondered about all the hype. Would I be fooled again? I waited for it to become available at my local library, but was too anxious to wait any longer and ended up buying it locally. Did I waste my money? Hmmm…let’s decide.Evie Boyd is the fourteen year old only child of divorced parents. Evie is basically a loner - aside from her one friend, overweight and annoying Connie. Evie spends her days drinking, smoking weed and. I changed my review from 4 to 5 stars Deborah S. Eden I have read all the reviews and they are all over the place some feel the beginning was slow some the ending I'm one who feels the beginning was a little slow but then it started revving up And for me once it revved up it never stopped.What got me wasn't the flowery prose which ok sometimes went over the top but the capturing of just what it means to be a girl.

For a story that traffics in the lurid notoriety of the Manson murders, The Girls is an extraordinary act of restraint. She reminds us that behind so many of our culture’s fables exists a girl: unseen, unheard, angry. She gives us the fictional truth of a girl chasing danger beyond her comprehension, in a Summer of Longing and Loss.”—The New York Times Book Review“The Girls reimagines the American novel Like Mary Gaitskill’s V
