## Description

Paradise in Aruba quickly gets gruesome in this “ripped-from-the-headlines thriller ( Kirkus Reviews )” with a twist that defies the imagination. It’s Spring Break of senior year. Anna, her boyfriend Tate, her best friend Elise, and a few other close friends are off to a debaucherous trip to Aruba that promises to be the time of their lives. But when Elise is found brutally murdered, Anna finds herself trapped in a country not her own, fighting against vile and contemptuous accusations. As Anna sets out to find her friend’s killer, she discovers harsh revelations about her friendships, the slippery nature of truth, and the ache of young love. Awaiting the judge’s decree, it becomes clear to Anna that everyone around her thinks she is not only guilty, but also dangerous. And when the whole story comes out, reality is more shocking than anyone could ever imagine...

Review: “Any one of us could be made to look a monster, with selective readings of our history.” - Elise is brutally murdered, and all fingers are pointing to Anna. As Anna lives through her stay in prison and the trial, we slowly get to see the wild, "dangerous" life of these girls and how quickly "friends" abandon you when times get tough. There are two things in life I love: reading and coffee. (OK, I love my family and friends too, but they aren't "things".) And the Kindle (given to me by the Most Amazing Sister EVAH) has been the best thing for reading AND my pocket book (and when we are good to the pocket book, we get the next best thing to more books: MORE COFFEE!). I saw "Dangerous Girls" as one of the Daily Deals and based on a friend's review snapped it up and put it on the Kindle for my next airplane trip. I love, and I hate this book at the same time. I love that this book made me read it in two sittings and left me staring blankly at the seat in front of me, making me question life and everything I knew. I love that I wanted to strangle characters in the book, so real did they feel. I love that I couldn't bear to put this book down. But then I HATE THAT ENDING GORRAMMIT. After all that nail-biting suspense, all those dips and twists in the story, and then we find out THAT?! But I get ahead of myself. Abigail Haas, you can write. You can write, you can create realistic teenaged characters, you can create the most thrilling suspense all the while never having the characters do anything more exciting than sit down. Really, woman, I am in envy of your craft. Before this book, I was ready to throw in the towel entirely on the Young Adult genre, especially after tepid (IMO) books like Antigoddess and Arclight. If Young Adult is going to be merely Girl + Boy A + Boy B + (Genre of the Most Popular YA Book of the Moment), then I don't care, I'm checking out. I don't read books to read the same story, the same characters over and over and over again. I want something different or unique, even if it's just a really, REALLY well-written form of something old. "Dangerous Girls" stands out. It's raw and gritty (I definitely wouldn't recommend for teens younger than 16, what with the sex, drugs, and alcohol use), but it's clever and REAL. The characters are stunning; Anna isn't a Mary Sue, with zero self-esteem, unable to realize how beautiful she is, and thinking every other female is an enemy (though she does do a bit of slut-shaming to the bully girls). She's a hurting girl, suffering when her mother has cancer, able to build friendships with other females *GASP*, and not afraid to embrace her sexuality *GASP*. Tate isn't a set of good-looking abs; he's a coward, a perfectionist, a flawed miserable human-being who abandons his girlfriend just to save face. Elise isn't the Manic Pixie Dream Girl; she has no qualms about using men to get what she wants (and not caring about their feelings), doesn't appreciate her mother, and is insanely jealous - but she's also the dearest, sweetest friend Anna could ever have. She stands up with Anna in the face of bullies and leaves her elite status behind to be with Anna. The whole book is a character study, not just of Anna, but of every other person she knows. Her boyfriend, Tate. Elise. The other friends in their circle. Her lawyers. Her father. The media. It's an intense look at how awful people can be. I've been calling it in many ways the "Gone Girl" for Young Adults, because that's what I think of when I read this. These aren't perfect characters; they are realistic, and every one of them is hiding something. Every one of them has messed up and is being selfish and horrible to their fellow human beings. With so much praise, why do I say I hate this? Well, that pertains to the ending and for that is a HUGE spoiler - a "Sixth Sense" scale spoiler. Let's just suffice to say that I didn't see it coming and felt it came out of left field and contradicted what Haas had earlier established. Of course, my opinion is just that: My opinion. I'd love to talk more about the ending, so feel free to comment. (Just be careful with spoilers!) But even with my feelings about the ending, I can't deny this is a marvelous book. A book that makes me devour it in two sittings, that leaves me with Book Hangover is DEFINITELY a 5 star in my book, even if the ending is "HUH?" I heartily recommend a read and will be checking out more of Haas' works in the future. Brought to you by: *C.S. Light*
Review: Almost like Gillian Flynn for YA - I couldn't help but keep thinking about Amanda Knox while reading this. I assume that trial was the inspiration for Dangerous Girls. What's interesting about this story, and that real life one, is that from the evidence and trial alone, it's impossible to tell what really happened. Just a bunch of circumstance and coincidence to draw your own conclusion from. However, I did begin to suspect Anna about 3/4 of the way through. It seemed it was going to turn out like a reverse Gone Girl, where instead of seeming guilty from that person's perspective and being innocent (well, innocent of murder at least, not of being a despicable human being, in the case of Gone Girl), she lead us to believe she was innocent and would turn out to be guilty. I also had suspicions about Mel, and her inability to face reality and let go. Either could have snapped and done it, in my humble opinion. Haas was great at throwing around a red herring to make you question things. I also found it especially entertaining that Clara Rose was so obviously supposed to be Nancy Grace. Oh Nancy, you devious little she-devil you. I'm absolutely enthralled by her as a person, as well as her show. It's an art really! I've watched her coverage of both the Amanda Knox and Casey Anthony trials, and she can't help but suck you in, like being hypnotized. Then at some point you shake off the fog of acceptance you have for everything she says and realize, holy s***, this program is so biased and twisted, I don't know how they even call it journalism! She is a bewitching snake-charmer that could easily sell snow to an Eskimo. Sorry to go on a Nancy Grace tangent, I could do that for days! Anyway, I highly recommend Dangerous Girls to anyone who likes murder mystery or suspenseful reads. It's like a Gillian Flynn novel for YA.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Phenomenal Book
*by L***N on May 4, 2022*

This book is absolutely amazing. Without spoiling anything (which is really hard by the way), I'll say now that the way the setting and characters were presented was flawless. At times, as cliché as it is to say, I felt like I was in the room with them. You can feel the atmosphere biting at you, smell your surroundings, see each persons face. This book has a lot of time jumps, sometimes making it hard to keep up because one moment you'll be in the present, then the next you'll be in the past. Despite that it was sometimes hard to tell at what time things were taking place, this works really well for the presentation of the book. We'll learn of an event that took place in the past from Anna's point of view, before ending up in the courtroom, the details we just learned presumably having been laid out and established while the prosecution and defense fight with words; all the while Anna is riding an emotional roller-coaster. Sometimes she'll be introspective, at others she'll panic, and sometimes she is completely calm, but in ways that make sense. Now onto the more spoilery bits. Don't read these if you want to be surprised, however I think these parts are what make the book truly shine. Anna's mental state is absolutely fascinating. Her ability to lie and deceive is something she takes full advantage of, and her complete apathy regarding certain things and fabricated emotions when it comes to others is really interesting to read about. The best part though, is the reader is just as oblivious and clueless as everyone else trying desperately to find out the truth. This story perfectly executes the concept of an unreliable narrator. Anna hardly ever tells the full truth, most of the time using half truths or blatant lies to fabricate her story, not only to everyone she knows, not only to a courtroom full of people and a judge prepared to lock her away for years, but to the reader too. There are subtle hints of course, if you look closely, but the reader is left to figure it out for themselves. But beyond Anna's character, the story is great as well. With something as complicated as this situation it's hard to say what this book is truly about, but one thing stands out especially. Anna and Elise's relationship. It's quite obvious there is some sexual tension between the two. While this is never explicitly stated it is implied, and can be further reinforced by one specific scene I'll talk about in a second. Anna and Elise's relationship, even in the best and most stable of times, is very turbulent. They disagree and fight often, and beyond that, hurt each other in ways you really shouldn't. Though at the same time, each of them are sometimes the only thing holding the other together. Their relationship is full of toxicity and jealousy as much as it is dependence and care. In one scene, just after Anna's mom dies, Anna begs Elise to tell her that it won't hurt this way forever, and to never leave her. Elise kisses her, says that it won't always hurt this way, and that she'll always be by Anna, holding her hand. This is a lie, however I don't think it was at the time. Relationships between characters are complicated, and it's hard to tell who's feeling what. However, I think that Elise loved Anna as more than a friend. Anna might have been conflicted, maybe not, but ultimately didn't feel the same. She loved her boyfriend, Tate. That's an entire other can of worms, and why exactly she loves him is unclear, but I think she was aware of how Elise felt and took advantage of Elise's willingness to comfort her to do exactly that, likely giving Elise hope, before Anna pretends it never happened and things go back to "normal". Obviously Elise is hurt, being used and discarded in this way. Maybe she wants to get back at Anna and hurt her, maybe she wants to know what Anna likes so much about him and what it would be like to be her, maybe she honestly developed feelings for him, or maybe a mixture of all, but Elise ends up betraying Anna and having an affair with Tate. That promise to always be by her side, supporting her and holding her hand, telling her that things wouldn't hurt like this again, was broken when she went behind Anna's back. During their trip, Anna finds out. We're never told exactly what happened the day of the murder, never shown a scene of Anna making up her mind or doing the deed. But we do see the aftermath. We do see Anna's lies. And we do see her declared innocent, despite the evidence against her. It's very clear what type of person Anna is just from reading the last few paragraphs. She seems to have truly cared about Elise, at least in some way, and maybe even loved her back. She seems to mourn Elise's death, but not regret what she did. In the game of friendship, false promises, and deception, Anna comes out on top and, sitting at Elise's grave, pronounces her victory. "I win." I highly encourage anyone seeing this to read it. I had a great time myself and I honestly can't give a name to the feelings I felt throughout this read. Wonderfully done, author. :)
