Girls Burn Brighter by Shobha Rao

4.0

This was heart-wrenching and powerful and depressing. Set in India and America it follows two friends separated by horrendous acts of violence and depravity and the lengths they will go to to be reunited. I definitely reached the point where I couldn’t handle anything else happening to them only to have a lot more happen to them. I felt the same way when reading Beauty is a Wound. This is an electrifying debut novel though and definitely worth reading.
