If this weren't a book club choice, I would have DNF'd it for sure. This was a poorly paced, low-temped narrative that dragged on for what felt like, well, forever. It didn't help that I listened to the audiobook, which featured the most soulless narrator I've heard in a loooong time. Ugh.
Blurb: Northern California, during the violent end of the 1960s. At the start of summer, a lonely and thoughtful teenager, Evie Boyd, sees a group of girls in the park, and is immediately caught by their freedom, their careless dress, their dangerous aura of abandon. Soon, Evie is in thrall to Suza...
A co worker lent this to me, and I was super excited to read it, but ended up feeling pretty meh abot it. This is a loosely based on the Manson girls. Because of this book I spent about an hour Googling the whole Manson family, and murders. I got a very older men preying on younger girls creepy vibe...
I had no idea what this book was about. I saw the cover; I saw the colors; I saw that it was about girls. This was all I needed in order to check it out. Whelp. Definitely a ton of Manson feels.

In the dying days of a floundering counter-culture a young girl is unwittingly caught up in unthinkable violence, and a decision made at this moment, on the cusp of adultho...
‘We were, Russell told us, starting a new kind of society. Free from racism, free from exclusion, free from hierarchy. We were in service of a deeper love.’ Emma Cline’s debut novel The Girls was a rather intense story loosely based on Charles Manson’s cult in the late 1960s. Specifically, it was ...
The Girls, Emma Cline, author, read by Cady McClainThe narrator, McClain, interpreted the characters very well, using tone and emphasis that was particular to each, making them easily recognizable. It was almost possible to see them in my mind’s eye and to feel the evil that came off some of them. I...
The Girls was a very interesting read for me. I want to start out by saying I know very little about the Manson Murder case so I was going into this book not knowing what to expect. What I got was quite interesting. We follow a girl named Evie and how she gets involved with these people who, eventua...
