"Delia stayed away from the fire. She always did. Fire was the only thing on earth she was scared of."
"He doesn't have access to a certain part of the world that maybe I do, a certain kind of darkness that I have been trying so hard to shed."
Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls was not knock-your-socks-off material. In my opinion, it was far from a "thriller." But the psychological twists were compelling enough for me to read it quite quickly. While I didn't enjoy the interpretative ending, I never could guess what was going to happen next. I think when the novel switches from just June's point of view, to alternating between Delia and June is where the significant shift takes place. You see who Delia was, who June is capable of being when guided by Delia. Delia is fire, and her plans to kindle flames in June are effortlessly creepy as the story progresses. On the outside, Weingarten presents us with a sapphic murder mystery...but beneath the veil is dark obsessions and elusive secrets. In Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls, Weingarten skillfully crafts a story full of deceit and a fiery passion. There were downfalls, room for improvement....But in my opinion, this book was more than worth the read.
