#booksummary

📚 Title and Author: the virgin suicides by jeffrey eugenides

🌟 Genre: literary fiction, classic, anti-coming-of-age, and suburban gothic

💬 Short Summary: the tragedies of five sisters and the neighborhood boys that worshiped them

Key Point #1 : fav part: 4th person pov + the fact that i’ll only ever know as much as the neighborhood boys do

Key Point #2 : should you read?: the bell jar, play it as it lays, and “a rose for emily” by william faulkner fans RISEEEE

Key Point #3 : it’s dreamlike, it’s melancholic, it’s gross, it’s obsessive… we were girls together = writing in diaries and being observed under the male gaze together :/ ⭐️5 stars, one for each lisbon girl
