Some Girls Are
I have owned all three of Courtney Summers’ books since April of 2011, and when Misty of Book Rat did a TBR Tuesday on all of her novels, I decided it was time for me to read Some Girls Are. I devoured it. Some Girls Are kept me up into the wee hours of the morning and left me feeling as though the wind had been knocked out of me.I knew Some Girls Are was going to be good. I knew that it would be fast-paced. What I did not realize was the impact it would have on me.This book was like a punch in the stomach, I mean that in the best way possible. Regina goes through hell and back in this book. The physical and emotional pain she goes through are gritty and near unimaginable, but they aren’t.Some Girls Are resonated so well with me because I knew what it was like. I have been in cliques. I have been frozen out of cliques. I have frozen other people out of cliques. I have seen this happen to other people. Summers’ characters reminded of my childhood, and I’m sure this is the case for many other readers. It’s what makes Some Girls Are a read that is tough but mesmerizing.This is not a light, breezy contemporary novel. I flew through Some Girls Are and was slammed by the emotional impact of it. I won a signed copy of this book from a fellow blogger wherein Summers promised me mean girls, and I got so much more than that.
