The Divines by Ellie Eaton
3.0

Josephine, or “Joe” is all grown up, married & suddenly rehashing her childhood. As she delves into the memories, the “scandal” unfolds, revealing her version of events from twenty years previous.
This is an interesting perspective of the ruthlessness of teenage girls, the fickle friendships & loyalties, it had me reminiscing high school & those relationships, pondering my place within those now ancient stories.
The story didn’t end the way I expected it to, in fact half of it didn’t unfold the way I expected... I really did enjoy the writing style but anticipated something more from the storyline. Especially the ending.
I feel it needs a trigger warning as it alludes to sexual assault & could therefore be triggering to some.
