#23 All Girls by Emily Layden A keenly perceptive coming-of-age novel, All Girls captures one year at a prestigious New England prep school, as nine young women navigate their ambitions, friendships, and fears against the backdrop of a scandal the administration wants silenced.
When I started this book on an airplane, I thought it would be a LIfetime movie like mystery and thus a good light read. Instead it brought up a lot of questions about girls, sex and how society reacts/treats them. On Goodreads, other readers were bothered by the fact that each chapter was narrated by a different girl over the course of one school year. That didn't detract from me. There was plenty of overlap. Others were expecting afull-fledged mystery and were disappointed by the lack of one. This book addressed many complex issues which don't have easy answers. It could start some good book club conversations.
