Review: The Girls

The Girls by Emma Cline
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

California, the 60's.
A time when a 14 year old girl went out of her house in the morning and came back at night and nobody wondered where she was, or if she was alright.

Evie is 14 years old, her parents are divorced, her father has a new girlfriend, her mother has many boyfriends. No wonder she feels left out and lonely. Her best friend decides she'd rather be with other girls and turns into a bully, so Evie is left by herself all day long.

One day she sees 3 amazing girls in the park. They leave in an old black school bus. So when Evie finds them again, and is befriended by them, she follows the everywhere. What she doesn't know is that they belong to a cult, which will have disastrous consequences in Evie's life.

This is an amazing book. The atmosphere and description are perfect, characters are very well described, great plot!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
