This book wasn't at all what I expected: a book about a trio of girls at a university who love poetry. It was more a about one of those girls and her childhood trauma and relationship with her parents. And I loved it. At first you may think it to be a classic "depressed mysterious not like other girls" book with flat characters and tired tropes, but the author breaks through that surface and seriously dissects the main characters life. This book tackles mother-daughter relationships and how grief affects and shapes a person throughout their life, as well as how to move away from that. It's a coming of age story and so much more and I absolutely loved it!

If you want to read this book solely because it is being recommended as similar to The Secret History or some dark academia story, you migt get dissappointed. However, it is still worth the read. When one of the death girls feels more lost than ever, she decides to go to the house of the famous dead poet she idolised, which changes the atmosphere in that house. No much happens in the book in terms of plot - rather, it is an exploration of people dealing with grief and sorrow, and how people affect each other in unexpecting ways. Meg Wolitzer's writing makes it feel like you just dropped into someone's life, but the writing makes you keep on reading and is able to make you feel like the people whose life you have just fallen into
