Games for Dead Girls by Jen Williams
4.0
3.5 rounded up. Maybe. I loved it but the ending was too short. So I'm bitter.
This gave me the same feelings as when I read The First Day of Spring. I felt so helpless and sad seeing these children make such irresponsible decisions progressing to a horrific yet completely avoidable outcome. I loved the past vs. present POVs and the merging storylines.
My only complaint about this novel is that it ended so abruptly after SO MUCH backstory. I wanted everyone's perspectives, but I was given crumbs instead. I demand a better resolution! They could have made room for a better ending if there were significantly fewer instances of Charlie/Sarah being a super unreliable narrator.
