The Girls I've Been

“Wow” is about the only word I have for this book. Honestly, once I started reading I could not stop. Absolutely amazing. Probably my favorite book of the month, tbh, and will definitely make the top 10 of the year list.

The characters are amazing and all have life to them. Nora is super compelling as we try to figure out what she'll do next, how she'll use her leverage, and the chapters of her past teaches us how she became Nora are gripping. Books that skip through time can be hit or miss with me, but these are so so clearly marked and the current day only goes forward, we never go back to the hours before the walked in or something like it.
I also liked that the adults had roles – good and bad – and Nora wasn't self-reliant, she did and does reach out for her sister Lee and believes she'll stop at nothing to save her. It's so nice to read about that trust between a teenager and adult.

The plot and writing... chef's kiss
I'll definitely be looking for more books by this author!
