Leftovers
Leftovers | Laura Wiess
5 posts | 8 read | 7 to read
A devastating novel of desperation and revenge from one of today's most compelling new voices in fiction. In this follow-up to her heartbreaking debut, Such a Pretty Girl, Laura Wiess once again spins a shattering tale of the tragedies that befall young women who are considered society's Leftovers. Blair and Ardith are best friends who have committed an unforgivable act in the name of love and justice. But in order to understand what could drive two young women to such extreme measures, first you'll have to understand why. You'll have to listen as they describe parents who are alternately absent and smothering, classmates who mock and shun anyone different, and young men who are allowed to hurt and dominate without consequence. You will have to learn what it's like to be a teenage girl who locks her bedroom door at night, who has been written off by the adults around her as damaged goods. A girl who has no one to trust except the one person she's forbidden to see. You'll have to understand what it's really like to be forgotten and abandoned in America today. Are you ready?

Mehso-so

Extremely slow plot that didn‘t ultimately seem like it had a point. Two girls unsatisfied and feeling like life is unfair doing whatever they can to seek satisfaction and low key revenge by using and damaging others. It wasn‘t the worst I‘ve ever read, but definitely not the best. It kind of just was. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just not feeling the writing style or the story much. The plot sounded good looking at the back but not really my thing

GoldenGirl That cover though 😍 7y
BookishGirl06 @GoldenGirl it is nice. 7y
ReadingSusan Love the cover. Hate when the outside doesn‘t match the inside. 7y

This has nothing to do with books or reading, but what about this "Thanksgiving Sundae" courtesy of the husband?! #leftovers #yum

tpixie Awesome! Unique!! 8y
Little_Reader I'm conflicted by this. The fact that it's in a glass makes me think "gross!" but looking closer, I'd eat through every one of those delicious layers! 8y
