Incredibly compelling story - I read it in two days! King does a good job of getting in the minds of teenage girls, and the horror is palpable. I could do without the outdated 1970s attitudes though, which does really jar with modern sensibilities.
Graphic: Death, Domestic abuse, Violence, and Murder
Moderate: Racial slurs
