A review by thebookofdanny
The Girls by Emma Cline

2.0

If you're going to fictionalise a real-life story of angry hippies, then tackle Cookie Mueller (personal hero of mine) joining the Dreamlanders. Sure, it doesn't involve mass murder, but it does involve Cookie crushing a live - but not for long- chicken between her legs. I'd take that over this inoffensive (but very well written) novel any day. I just have so many problems with this book and I'll never develop the ability to skilfully articulate said problems for a goodreads review. Damn my stunted intelligence.
