A stunning novel about the intense friendships girls form as teenagers, and how they’re warped by a desire for validation from men.
It has a cast of heartbreakingly believable characters, and a fast paced plot.
It perfectly captures the obsessiveness, jealousy and all encompassing love that can pull two women apart and bring them back together.
It also shows a really slow and realistic awakening to casual violence against women, in the way that teenagers often experience it.
