Description
Winona has been starving for life in the seemingly perfect home that she shares with her seemingly perfect father, celebrity weatherman Stormy Olsen. No one knows that he locks the pantry door to control her eating and leaves bruises where no one can see them.
Lucille has been suffocating beneath the needs of her mother and her drug-dealing brother, wondering if there’s more out there for her than disappearing waitress tips and a lifetime of barely getting by.
One harrowing night, Winona and Lucille realize they can’t wait until graduation to start their new lives. They need out. Now. One hour later, they’re armed with a plan that will take them from their small Michigan town to Chicago.
All they need is three grand, fast. And really, a stolen convertible can’t hurt.
Chased by the oppression, toxicity, and powerlessness that has held them down, Winona and Lucille must reclaim their strength if they are going to make their daring escape—and get away with it.
Brittany Cavallaro is the author of the New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes series. Emily Henry is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers, People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read. Together, they have created "a razor-sharp union of sidesplitting dark comedy, fierce feminism, and poignant friendship, paced like an Alfa-Romeo at full throttle, and written in gleaming, perfect, gut-punch sentences.” (Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King)

Hello Girls is an intriguing combination of Thelma & Louise, Heathers and my childhood trauma (jk, but not entirely). The beginning of this book is actually exciting, when Winona was escaping from home, my heart was racing the entire time. I also really enjoyed the feminist revenge/men getting their comeuppance vibe in this. Unfortunately, the story is lacking in some regards. For one, I feel like the ending is way too rushed. The whole book is building up to an anticlimactic close. I also wish the protagonists' friendship were more fleshed out. Not just are there hints toward a certain direction that aren't followed through with, but I was actually wondering why they are friends in the first place. This didn't strike me as a long-lasting friendship. This could have been more of a banger, but I think it would make a great summer movie.
