If anything, Courtney Summers can write an almost magically compelling book. Her novels are like train wrecks (not the writing, that part is excellent), no matter how hard it is to see, it’s impossible to look away.

January 23, 2011
Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers is like Mean Girls, only not funny at all. I’m not sure what took me so long to hop aboard the Courtney Summers love train, but damn girl can pen a book. Some Girls Are is an intricate look at bullying, victim blaming, and cliques. Regina is part of […]
