This book is marketed as a retelling of Jekyll and Hyde, but that's not at all the impression I was left with. I really wanted to love this book after reading the premise, but it felt really disorganized and missed the mark. The book was written by an influencer in her early twenties, and that's exactly what it reads like.

I would give Given another shot if she tries her hand at fiction again, because the first chapters were promising! However, Girl Crush was neither hot, nor dark as it was promised to be and I found it to be underdeveloped and pretty bumpy in nearly every way.

Thank you to NetGalley and Smith Publicity for the opportunity to read a copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.
