Hello Girls
by Emily Henry, Brittany Cavallaro
I received an ARC of this title at a work conference.
TRIGGER WARNING! THERE IS EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE IN THE FIRST 100 PAGES! While it is by no means extremely detailed, graphic or gruesome, it WAS difficult for me to read without getting sick (and i have no experience with emotional or physical abuse).
Basic run down: 2 girls from very different backgrounds runaway from their dangerous homes and go on a road trip hoping to find one of their mother's. The girls support and love each other through thick and thin. They're hella smart and don't put up with crap once they hit the road.
So I am not generally someone who enjoys contemporaries as a whole but oh my goodness! I whipped through this book in a few hours.
The characters are FANTASTIC! While they both come from VERY different economic backgrounds, they see each others struggles as similar and help support each other. They're so set up to fail by their families and the world...so you kinda can't help but root for them despite the fact that they commit crimes. The girls are so smart and resilient. This whole book is about them supporting each other to get themselves out of their dangerous home lives and into the world where they can make a life of their choosing. I got attached to both of the girls while none of the background cast are really fleshed out which also made me feel more sympathetic and supportive of the main characters (again, despite them committing crimes).
