The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe

adventurous challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.0

This book was a wild ride. It was very well written. Though I found some of it unrealistic (obviously lol) and juvenile, I can’t fault it much as it’s YA. The themes of abuse and survival were very well written as well. I think this book may be getting an adaptation? Which I can totally picture. I will be watching!

Aside from the two criticisms I had above, I just have two spoilery thoughts

how tf did Wes get out barely scathed?? And I know Nora is basically a sitting duck at the end, but given she’s said why she can’t die, what’s stopping Raymond from harming her loved ones?
