Emma Cline’s The Girls

“They didn’t have very far to fall- I knew just being a girl in the world handicapped your ability to believe yourself.”

Speaking of cults, The Girls is a new novel about a group of young girls that become part of a cult lead by a leader who convinces them into acts of sex and eventually murder. At times disturbing, this novel has an interesting story about who susceptible young people can be when they just want to fit in.
