Publisher's Summary:

In this haunting and explosive debut, Meredith Miller explores the truth behind three girls on the cusp of adulthood and all the shocking realizations that come under the guise of growing up. Perfect for fans of I'll Give You the Sun and Girl in Pieces.

Ruth, Magda, and Isabel are different from everyone else. They can see beneath the seemingly perfect, cookie-cutter exterior of their small town of Highbone, Long Island. They know that below the surface, each house is filled with secrets, indifference, and violence.

These girls refuse to become willing participants of these fake lives. Instead they are determined to fight every condescending comment, every unwelcome touch, and every lie they've been told.

When the opportunity to commit the perfect crime appears, the girls finally start to see their way out of Highbone. But for the first time, Ruth, Magda, and Isabel are keeping secrets from each other. As they drift apart, the weight of reality starts to set in. These girls can't save each other. They might not even be able to save themselves.

Members Reviews:

I was bored and disliked the writing

GRADE: D-

1 STAR

LITTLE WRECKS takes place in 1979, which I guess makes this novel a period piece. I was around the same age as the three friends during 1979 and Meredith Miller does a good job accurately depicting the era.

I preordered and eagerly anticipated the release of LITTLE WRECKS and I was disappointed. Miller's writing turned me off with lots of telling and little showing. Simple sentence structure can be an effective means of creating intensity, emotion and tension like in GIRL IN PIECES and SPEAK. To me LITTLE WRECKS read more like a high school English story and I was bored throughout the book. I felt nothing for the characters.

I'm clearly in the minority with others rating higher on Goodreads so read the preview before deciding whether you want to read LITTLE WRECKS.

Thanks Meredith Miller for this great story. Authentic characters
