Here's my review:

Some Girls Are, like Courtney Summers' first, but to an even greater degree, was brimming with awesome. But what makes it so special, such an incredible, can't-put-down book, is the intense contradiction woven throughout.

But what makes it so special, such an incredible, can't-put-down book, is the intense contradiction woven throughout. It's at once brutal and uncomfortable and captivating and addictive and impeccably written. I was never comfortable or at ease while reading, because the whole time I cared so deeply about the balance, or lack of it, in the characters' lives. Summers' characters walk tight ropes as she balances their lives so precariously, and then does everything in her power to shake the ropes beneath their feet. I held my breath for most of this book.


Courtney Summers has being getting some fabulous nods from her first book, Cracked Up to Be, and the reviews for Some Girls Are have been wonderful, too. This really is an author to read, to get to know, because she's going to be around a long time. At 23, she's already leaving an indelible impression on YA realism.

Happy Book Birthday, Courtney. You earned every star and every word of praise and every ~*~.
