Those Girls Lauren Saft Books Reviews

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my review.

First of all, these girls were not friends. No way. Maybe there are real "friendships" between girls that are like this, but that would be scary. One of the girls, Veronica, sleeps around a lot. She does it because she is one of those mixed up girls who gets lonely and uses sex as a way to feel good about herself. I do get why so many people in her school (and even other boys) kept calling her a slut and a whore. Now don't get me wrong. I hate that this kind of slut shaming happens, but I get it because that's the kind of culture we live in (unfortunately). What I don't get is why her supposed best friends do it. And they don't just call her names behind her back. They actually do it to her face and Veronica just takes it because she doesn't want to lose their friendship. But what all the girls think of each other that they never say is what's really scary. I just hate books where friendships between girls are shown as competitive and manipulative and just plain mean. Not all friendships between girls are like that . . . at least mine never were.

Meanwhile, Mollie is dating a guy who treats her like crap and uses her for sex. There were so many scenes between the two that just made me feel sick because it was so obvious that he only cared about his pleasure, not hers. Alex has joined a band, which Mollie resents because she doesn't have anything to do with it. Alex is also secretly in love with her best friend, Drew, and she is devastated when he starts going out with Veronica. What made me mad as well is that both Mollie and Alex were secretly pissed off at Veronica for going out with Drew, despite the fact that Alex encouraged the relationship and Veronica had no idea Alex was in love with him. She didn't know she broke the "girl code." Despite the fact that Veronica makes questionable decisions and also despite the fact that she ends up having sex with Mollie's boyfriend, I think I related to her the most. Her mom was always gone so she had to take care of herself a lot. That reminded me a lot of my own teenage years so I understood her and probably rooted for her the most. At first I liked Alex, but then her and Mollie hatch this incredibly stupid revenge scheme (no spoilers) that was so dangerous.

I kept waiting for some kind of character development. I kept waiting for just one of them to learn something. Nope, that did not happen. It was beyond frustrating. There were so many serious issues, between Mollie's eating disorder and all their drinking and sleeping around, but nothing came of any of it. I do get that in real life, this book would have been very realistic. Teenage girls don't drastically change. But this isn't real life; it's a book. I read a book so I can see the characters grow and change and most importantly, learn from their mistakes. If the characters don't learn anything, then what is the point?
This is one of those reviews that I wouldn't normally post publically. I normally just send low star reviews to the authors, but I have my reasons for this one.

When I downloaded this book, I had the intention of reading it then eventually passing it along to my teenage daughter... I mean, this book is labeled at YA. It was published by Little Brown Books for Young Readers... WHY???? WHY????

This book is NOT for young readers. Not even close! So if you are looking to purchase this for your young reader, I wouldn't suggest it!

This book is full of sex, drugs and drinking. I really didn't expect to get so much of the drinking, the sex and the drugs. This is about three out of control teenage girls who will do anything to get what they want. This isn't a true depiction of teenagers. Between the non-friendship these three have and their behavior, this isn't something I would want anyone under 21 reading.

There really isn't a lot to this story other than what I have mentioned already. Unfortunately this isn't a book I would really recommend to anyone I know.
Excellent condition
So much fun to read! You can relate to so much in this book- if it didn't happen to you, you definitely knew a girlfriend or, well, one of "those girls" from HS. This book is REAL, so read it if you are open to what it will show. As a late 20's lady who was looking to be sentimental and have a few laughs, this was a hit. Please write a sequel!
This book was really sexually explicit which I found kind of disturbing. But, it was a pretty good tale of friendship between three girls. Heartbreak, heartache, and rejoicing in cries!
Overall....ok.
Delivery came on time in wonderful condition. I finished the book probably 2 weeks after i got it I loved it that much! Would definitely reccomend for anyone interested in teen, high school related books to check this one out.
I received and early copy of Lauren Saft's debut novel and honestly could not put it down. The writing is fantastic, the wit is sharp, situations comical, and yet, it is also an honest portrayal of the things girls go through today in High School. A harsh but very real commentary on what our youth are turning into. Miss Saft captures their voices, makes them into real people you will love and hate, root for and against, with each decision they make.
Read this book in 3 days ! It jumped right into the drama and was a fun fast read , I'm honestly sad it's over , you get into the heads of each character and truly form a bond and connection with them. I think this is a raw real book of high schoolers
