Reviews
A book that crackles with the kind of energy that only teenagers can conjure.... It is about being nowhere and feeling like you're going nowhere, and, maybe most importantly, it is about society's fear of teenage girls.... All of these themes are explored through a Lynchian lens, a skewed take on small town America in all its hypocritical glory., Explores the line where close female friendships can blur into obsession and self-obliteration….At the heart of the dark story is an intoxicating and all-consuming friendship between two teenage girls., As intense as adolescence and as dark as a dream.... Girls on Fire is a mystery and a tangled love triangle and a sharp, ruthless thriller, and it's satisfying and troubling on all these levels., A dark, propulsive fever-dream of youth and friendship. I wanted to grab these girls and shake them, sing them lullabies, stop them-but all I could do was keep reading them, relentlessly enthralled by the heat-seeking missile of Robin Wasserman's fearless imagination., Thrilling.... [an] intriguing mix of dark literary sophistication and unadulterated teenaged angst…impressive storytelling abilities and flights of dazzling lyrical prose., Successful YA novelist Wasserman makes her adult debut with this edgy portrayal of a passionate, obsessive female friendship set in the grunge era., Wasserman masterfully shows the all-consuming nature of adolescent relationships, in which the line between love and hate is a thin one indeed. The girls' ultimate act is one that's shocking, perverse, and frighteningly believable-and it will either bind them together forever or entirely break them apart., This is not a novel you'll put down after you pick it up, so clear some time. And it's not a novel you'll ever forget after you've read it-don't say you weren't warned. Wasserman is a brilliant writer, and GIRLS ON FIRE is a gorgeous gift of a novel., A little bit 'Heathers' with a 90s Nirvana vibe. You'll want it in your tote for your first summer beach trip., A perfectly constructed literary novel… nearly impossible to put down…Wasserman does so many things right... it's hard to count them all…. Girls on Fire is an inferno - it's brutally gorgeous, and you know it could explode anytime, but you can't turn away, even for a second., Like lightning in a bottle, Robin Wasserman's Girls on Fire captures girlhood friendship in all its shattering intensity. A captivating, terrifying novel, and one you won't forget., An enthralling, gritty, and altogether unpredictable read that holds nothing back.... You will be utterly riveted., A book so wonderful, so terrible, so nightmarishly compelling that I hardly knew what to say when I finished. Wasserman has wrapped up a love story inside a murder mystery, a promise and a testament inside a confession-and has a title ever been truer? The reader comes away singed., 'She was making fun of me, or she wasn't. She was like me, or she wasn't,' says Hannah, spidey senses already tingling, after her first extended hang-out with Lacey. It's one of several sharp, spot-on lines about the frailty of teen friendships that Wasserman employs throughout the book.... [Wasserman proves her] own black-magic mettle by conjuring up an era where ill-informed paranoia (and just plain ding-dongness) turned some of the quietest corners of America into fear factories, full of deep-rooted distrust and misspent rage., The story unfolds as a maddening tease, with shocking events waiting around every corner-and an ending that will leave readers stunned., The kind of book I wanted to tear through, but found so intense that I needed to take breathers. It captures the darkest side of girlhood in a way no other book or movie I've come across has. , Robin Wasserman's novel Girls on Fire will utterly terrify you - in the best way possible…. A dark, chilling story of secrets, violence, and female friendship, Girls on Fire will burn in the mind long after you finish reading., [Cranks] the emotional intensity higher and higher while pushing events into truly shocking, subversive territory. Much like her young protagonists, Wasserman takes things shockingly far, creating an irresistible hybrid between coming-of-age stories and Gone Girl -esque psychological thrillers., Depicts the all-consuming, borderline obsessive nature of teenage friendships with a deft touch… Nothing is quite what is seems. Wasserman turns the usual high school stereotypesthe good girl, the popular girl, the outcast-by revealing unexpected relationships between the characters.... An enveloping page-turner… a good beach read for those who like some darkness with their sun rays.
Synopsis
An NPR Best Book of the Year - A Buzzfeed Best Book of the Year "Like lightning in a bottle, Robin Wasserman's Girls on Fire captures girlhood friendship in all its shattering intensity. A captivating, terrifying novel, and one you won't forget." --Megan Abbott On Halloween, 1991, a popular high school basketball star ventures into the woods near Battle Creek, Pennsylvania, and disappears. Three days later, he's found with a bullet in his head and a gun in his hand--a discovery that sends tremors through this conservative community, already unnerved by growing rumors of Satanic worship in the region. In the wake of this incident, bright but lonely Hannah Dexter is befriended by Lacey Champlain, a dark-eyed, Cobain-worshiping bad influence in lip gloss and Doc Martens. The charismatic, seductive Lacey forges a fast, intimate bond with the impressionable Dex, making her over in her own image and unleashing a fierce defiance that neither girl expected. But as Lacey gradually lures Dex away from her safe life into a feverish spiral of obsession, rebellion, and ever greater risk, an unwelcome figure appears on the horizon--and Lacey's secret history collides with Dex's worst nightmare. By turns a shocking story of love and violence and an addictive portrait of the intoxication of female friendship, set against the unsettled backdrop of a town gripped by moral panic, Girls on Fire is an unflinching and unforgettable snapshot of girlhood: girls lost and found, girls strong and weak, girls who burn bright and brighter--and some who flicker away., An NPR Best Book of the Year * A Buzzfeed Best Book of the Year "Like lightning in a bottle, Robin Wasserman's Girls on Fire captures girlhood friendship in all its shattering intensity.

The seller also messaged me as soon as the purchase went through so communication was great.

The seller met two out of three categories I look for when judging my purchasing experience: how well it was packaged, how quickly it was shipped, and how properly it was described; this seller provided prompt shipping and an accurate description, but failed when it came to packaging. The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
