My Favourite Manson Girl
My Favourite Manson Girl | Alison Umminger
6 posts | 7 read | 8 to read
Anna has had a miserable year. Everything feels wrong with her life. And rather than stay and face the mess, she steals a credit card and books herself a seat on the first flight out of town to Los Angeles, to crash with her sister. But soon after she lands, cold reality soon dawns on her: Hollywood isn't the escape she needs. She is trapped in a town full of lost souls and wannabes, with no friends, no cash and no return ticket. When she's offered a job researching the murderous Manson girls for a dubious film, she reluctantly accepts - she needs the money. But soon enough, among the fake smiles and glitter-fuelled parties, things turn from strange, to dark, to dangerous . . . This is not going to be the summer Anna had in mind. My Favourite Manson Girl is a chilling story about being young, lost and female. This is a story about how girls disappear.

Loved this. It had depth, humour, interesting likeable and believably flawed characters and it really made we feel like I was along for the ride with Anna and travelling around LA.

As a high school teacher, this resonates.

We can just ignore reality by binging on books, right?

This novel is an interesting look at the way girls can be lost. It's told from the viewpoint of a 15yr old girl who is feeling pushed out at home so she runs away to LA to spend the summer with her older sister. These is glamour, seediness, a brief love affair and a sense of growing up.
