A fictional non-fiction true crime book about the brutal death of a teenage girl by the hands of other teenage girls. So immersive that I several times forgot that all of these people and events never existed. Stomach-churningly accurate depictions of the teen girl experience, especially in the digital era. A hugely ambitious project that succeeds in all its goals. An ending that is very slightly on-the-nose, but no less of a gut-punch for that, and couldn't have ended any other way, really. Grabbed me by the throat.

EXCELLENT. I loved Boy Parts but this one was even stronger-- a really fine commentary on 2010's internet culture, the true crime industrial complex, and just the banal evil of teenage girls. This one will really hit home if you were tumblr or fandom adjacent circa 2012.....
