Trouble Girls by Julia Lynn Rubin
2.0

The blurb of a "Queer YA #MeToo reimagining of Thelma & Louise" is absolutely accurate for this book. I wasn't a fan of the lack of chapters, though admittedly it kept me reading. While this book touches on many important topics like rape, it does so through a lens of privilege that keeps the reader distanced from their impact. I enjoyed the prose, but the plot became repetitive pretty soon into it.

*Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review*
