RaveThe Barnes & Noble ReviewGood girl meets bad girl, gets a taste of the bad-girl-life, sees the error of her ways, goes back to being good. That’s the morality trope quagmire that Girls on Fire could’ve fallen into, never to be heard from again. Thankfully, it doesn’t. The book is refreshing in its agility—the second you think you’ve got it pegged, it gives you the slip and heads in an entirely new direction. Instead of 'good girl' and 'bad girl,' what we get is closer to 'good girl who wants desperately to be bad but is not very good at it and is subsequently full of rage,' and 'bad girl who is maybe just a misunderstood girl…who may or may not be a sociopath.' For my money, this is a far more interesting cast of characters. We’re never quite sure who we can trust—a theme sure to be familiar to anyone who has gone through teen-hood and lived to tell the tale ... This book captures the cathartic mess of it all with artful prose that is chock full of fervent sensuality. Girls on Fire is a brilliant tale of love and betrayal between friends—complete with a can’t-look-away climax that will make your hair stand on end.
