How can I say that? I was hoping for something way better but it was in fact extremely boring.
I get that it was written this way bc the girls never said why they did it and we never get to know why those who kill themselves were going through and why they did it, but 243 pages of trying to understand what the neighbors thought they understood about the girls was really boring. we’re going nowhere in this book.
Only the 3 last pages were kind of good, but not enough to get more Than 1 star
