this is for the angry girls.

  • it was NOT what I thought it would be; not at all bad - just different
  • it’s one of those books that have a special place in my heart & I‘ll remember for a long time although I‘m not giving it the best rating (I don’t even know how that’s supposed to make any sense)
  • there’s a lot less romance than you might expect reading the blurb (which I thought was a good thing)
  • the
    cat scene
    was brutal but I guess I see why the book needed it
  • I‘m usually not a huge fan of supernatural elements but didn’t mind them in this book
  • I enjoyed Every Exquisite Thing more but the overall vibes were similar

    Lottie and Alice start at the newly reopened  Carvell College of Arts. But history starts to repeat itself as a new series of killings start, eerily similar to the ones from ten years ago that caused it to close its doors. 
    This book is reported to be dark and "funny". Dark yes, funny much less so. The animal murder is resolved in a way that makes it less traumatic to the reader, but at the time it happens it's very dark and disturbing. As an animal lover, I had to stop reading the book for the day after that scene.
    I get where the author was coming from with the message about female anger and how it needs to be accepted and we need to change the sexism in the world. I really wish the author had stayed away from harming animals. I'm a person who prefers human death to animal death in fiction.
    The book was decent. I liked the premise but the execution wasn't as good as possible. 

Extra ratings: Fluff - 0/5  Heartfelt- 4/5   Helpful-NA    Horror- 3/5    Inspiration- NA   Love aka Romance-2/5   Mystery-3/5    Predictability- 3/5    Spice- 0/5  Suspense- 2/5   Tear 3.5/5  Thrill- 3.5/5  Humor-1/5

I haven’t given a book 5 ⭐️’s since April. There’s been good books since but not great books. At least not until now. THIS IS A GREAT BOOK !!

I thoroughly enjoyed the story telling of The Society For Soulless Girls. The switching between perspectives was done phenomenally. Not only is this a thrilling story but an enlightening think piece on female rage.

Fantastic book.
Autistic rep! Bisexual rep! Lesbian rep! Angry girl rep! Obsessed.

Mildly ambiguous ending, which I’m not usually a fan of, but I enjoyed this books ending a lot!

I was so fucking sad about Salem holy shit. I did NOT expect that to happen.
