The Only Girl in Town
The Only Girl in Town | Ally Condie
6 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
What would you do if everyone you love disappeared? What if it was your fault? A biting and breathless contemporary novel from Ally Condie, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Matched series. For July Fielding, nothing has been the same since that summer before her senior year. Or that late-August night at the jump. Before, she had Alex to be her loyal bestie, always up for playing endless rounds of mini golf or trying every ice cream flavor at local favorite Verity. She had Sydney, who pushed her during every sweaty and wonderful cross country run, and who sometimes seemed to know July better than she knew herself. And she had Sam. Sam, who told her she was everything and left her breathless with his kisses. Now, July is alone. Every single person in her small town of Lithia has disappeared. No family. No Alex or Sydney. No Sam. Julys only chance at unraveling the mystery of their disappearance is a series of objects, each a reminder of the people she loved most. And a recurring message that begins to appear all over town: GET TH3M BACK. With sharp, poetically visceral prose that grabs you by the heart and refuses to let go, New York Times bestselling author Ally Condie makes her contemporary-YA debut with a searingly candid, breathless novel that perfectly distills the messy, beautiful realities of growing up, growing apart, and the courageous act of self-discovery.

The Only Girl in Town was not what I expected. The book is composed of short chapters, is told in dual timelines, and moves quickly. The story follows July Fielding, for whom nothing has been the same since the summer before her senior year. It is difficult to review without major spoilers. The pacing is masterful, the writing lyrical and allegorical. The Only Girl in Town is urgent, emotional, compelling and impossible to put down.

This book was not what I was expecting. This book had such a powerful message. I‘ve been sitting just thinking about this book after I finished it. Just wow.

The writing style probably isn't for everyone. It took me a minute to get used to it, but once I did, I found that it worked with the story and kept me reading. Everything wove together in such a masterful way. It was done well. Again, this won't be a book for everyone. It should come with a trigger warning for suicide, depression, loneliness. I didn't think it ever got too heavy, but some people will. I would have been okay with more of it.
