July Round Up and Book of the Month

July's Book of the Month is The Girls by Emma Cline

I had another really fantastic reading month in July and a lot of adult books stood out to me, but The Girls by Emma Cline is a book that I keep thinking about even now. It's an incredible, incredible book that I can see myself coming back to in years to come and taking something different away each time I read it. It's a painfully honest study on the way girls interact with one another and our desire to please both society and men before ourselves. It's a must read for anyone who enjoys feminist fiction, complex heroines and darkly twisted plots.
