You guys, I am FULLY aware that it is basically the end of July and I'm just now getting my sh*t together for our virtual book club. I am ALSO aware that I chose the most talked about book of the summer, "The Girls" by Emma Cline. I've been dying to pick it up since I read that it was written by a 27-year-old who was paid a (reported) $2 MILLION DOLLAR ADVANCE to write it, her debut novel. WHAT. I'm a jealous and competitive person by nature (hello, I picked a career in Hollywood, arguably the nastiest industry on the planet!), so I had to read it to see what was up. I'm so glad I did, because it is beautifully written and impossible to put down.View Article
