A review by alexh1538
The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides

3.0

It took me about an entire year to finish this book. Got half way through and completely gave up, then forced myself to finish because I couldn’t justify me spending money on new books yet. This book just gave me a headache, and left me unsettled. There is no deep meaning to it, but I do like the movie. These poor girls never had a chance, mom was actually fucking insane and too controlling. The boys freakish obsessive nature with these girls that they’ve had two exchanges with is creepy. Religious guilt, abusive parents, and being a teenage girl at the same time. Yeah I don’t blame them for killing themselves.
