“Two girls, cherry-mouthed, glitter-lashed, our skin luminous with moonlight and sweat, making out beneath pennants that still shivered with the afternoon’s boy bravado.”
This book blowed my mind every five minutes. Just when you think you know whats happening, everything changes and you find out about more stuff. I loved every single thing about this book: the no-redemption arc, the way it treats mental illnes, drugs, lgbt, the romantic and sexual relationships, the blurred lines between friendship and romantic love and how dark and twisted everything was. This books is dark and painful and is pure revenge. Laney is an anti-hero and I loved reading every thing she did and felt and think.
“Change isn’t peaceful. Change is violent, savage, cruel”
