On the night of her high school graduation, a young woman follows her older sister Debbie to Salvation, a Los Angeles bar patronized by energy healers, aspiring actors, and all-around misfits. After the two share a bag of unidentified pills, the evening turns into a haze of sensual and risky interactions—nothing unusual for two sisters bound in an incredibly toxic relationship. Our unnamed narrator has always been under the spell of the alluring and rebellious Debbie and, despite her own hesitations, she has always said yes to nights like these. That is, until Debbie disappears.

I kept waiting for the story to tie back to some grander truth or universality. There are plenty of tropes that are presented, and I kept thinking they would develop in to something bigger than the narrator, but I was always disappointed. At the end, it was just the story of a girl from LA with a kind of shitty childhood and adolescence. It was hard for me to resonate with the “coming of age story” without a broader tie in or a plot/through line.
Nice prose though, and some really nice imagery. It was kind of like a Jonathan Foer or Nicole Krauss pastiche that was missing the big reveal

When Foster Dade arrives at Kennedy, an elite boarding school in New Jersey, the year is 2008. Barack Obama begins his first term as president; Vampire Weekend and Passion Pit bump from the newly debuted iPhone; teenagers share confidences and rumors over BlackBerry Messenger and iChat; and the internet as we know it is slowly emerging from its cocoon. So, too, is Foster emerging—a transfer student and anxious young man, Foster is stumbling through adolescence in the wake of his parents’ scandalous divorce.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

It’s entertaining enough,
But honestly how is some girl who grows up in a swamp supposed to be that generically beautiful!? Like, what about dirt? Mud? Matted hair? Sweat!? Mall nutrition…. I mean come on.
