CUT meets HATCHET in this lacerating debut about girls, knives, and redemption.The Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area stretches across two million acres in northern Idaho. In its heart sits the Alice Marshall School, where fifty teenage girls come to escape their histories and themselves.Lida Wallace has tried to negate herself in every way possible. At Alice Marshall, she meets Elsa Boone, a fierce native Idahoan; Jules, who seems too healthy to belong at the school; and Gia Longchamps, whose glamour entrances the entire camp. As the girls prepare for a wilderness trek, Lida is both thrilled and terrified to be chosen as Gia's friend. But everyone has their secrets--their "Things" they try to protect; and when those come out, the knives do as well.THE GIRLS OF NO RETURN is a bold and powerful debut.

Girls. If you know anything about them, you know they can be cruel. Now, imagine throwing a bunch of troubled girls together in a remote area with some adults and trying to get these females to work out their inner issues without causing future problems.

The Girls of No Return is a finely crafted tale of suspense, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, a harrowing wilderness adventure. If I were pitching it to Hollywood, I'd call it Girl, Interrupted in the woods.For complete review, please go to: http://jenryland.blogspot.com/2012/02/standalone-sat...
