When All the Girls Are Sleeping
When All the Girls Are Sleeping by Emily Arsenault My rating: 4 of 5 stars I attended an all-girls private college fraught with both good and bad experiences, and the rampant emotions in this book hit close to home for me. I cannot get over this passage in particular; it feels like a conversation pulled directly from my mind: "Does it ever bother you how beautiful our school is?" I asked. "All of the bricks and ivy... When I first came, I thought I would be it somehow. That it all looks so smart and beautiful and classy, that if I was here, I would kind of melt into it... lose myself in it. But I never really felt that way. I was just... there . It's just a place ." "Yeah? What else did you except it to be?" I expected it to redeem me , I thought. I expected it to make me a different girl than the one I'd been. ❧ View all my Goodreads reviews.
