Teaching girls to take abuse and be submissive because 'you always have to be nice' and 'good girls are nice' is SO toxic. Stop just taking the abuse and being submissive.

I mean, the interview in the back of the book makes it seem like the author views Nat and Olive as 'just not getting along' and 'rub each other the wrong way' or some shit but in reality Olive is nothing but kind and welcoming to Nat and Nat is a total asshole to her. The book ends with the girls making peace, but not being exactly 'friends' but I was aggrieved. Natasha is toxic and Olive does NOT have to be friends with her.

And as in all fiction, nothing, not even Moreau’s own identity, is certain - except, perhaps, the friendship of his loyal dog, Jeff. The misanthropic Moreau quickly learns that his Thoreau-like vision is a fiction. ![]() Michaud’s intense Boundary, lurid crimes inspire a panoramic exploration of a lakeside retreat and its residents.
