Juliet is a typical teenage girl a little beast. Shrewd and frank and real, this novel follows her efforts to survive herself, as she tries to make sense of her onandoff relationship with recovery, while traipsing through mid90s, Southern California. Juliet knows she should be poised for success. She knows her honors English teacher shouldnt be pity changing her grades from Fs to Cs, knows she shouldnt be snorting coke and chainsmoking at the Palms, knows she shouldnt be hallucinating shadowy, JoanofArclike messages from God. But there is something dark and violent inside of her fourteenyearold heart that makes it impossible for her to stop selfdestructing. The two forced hospitalisations didnt help her, neither did the outpatient facility for gay, depressed art kids maybe Redwood Trails therapeutic boarding school will? Through her Didionesque lens, Escoria captures the brutality of girlhood its fleeting, toxic friendships, the monstrous ways anger transforms, and the constant feeling of being close to normal, but not normal at all.
