At the end of the 60s, at the end of her parents' marriage, a teenage girl gradually disconnects from suburbia and falls in with a growingly dangerous cult in Emma Cline's debut The Girls.
The Girls has elements of literary fiction and elements of thriller, with the obvious parallel being to the Manson murders. But at its center Cline's novel is really about a young girl's awakening sexuality, and her attraction to a magnetic young woman in the cult.
How this relationship slowly, and then quickly, destroys lives around them is the spine of the story.
This is a solid read for those with any type of fiction interests and is recommended. A really good rendition on audiobook by Cady McClain adds value.
I checked this out from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana.
