this books leaves a melancholic fog on your mind, especially if you — even in the slightest — relate to the lisbon girls. ehm.

the prose in this book is gorgeous. It made me seriously sit for a few seconds just to absorb it. Apparently, it's a debut novel and for that i applause, because i could never imagine to write this exquisitely for my first novel.
While i understand why it's all written from the male gaze, the perspective of the boys, i still wish there was a way to see it from the girls themselves. [enters miss sofia coppola]. i miss it, probably as a part of real connection to them.
Trip Fontaine hater club rise up!! A classic fuckboy. However, he was only the last drop. The last push.
The real villain, Mrs. Lisbon makes my blood boil. It's all her fault. Holding your daughters in their house, like prisoners, just for being teenagers and growing up is INSANE. She absolutely mentally damaged them, forbidding them from a healthy experience of adolescence and growth. I fucking hate to my core mothers like Mrs. Lisbon. 
I rest my case. 👩‍⚖️.
