SAD GIRL NOVEL: Pip Finkemeyer

SAD GIRL NOVEL

It's all in the self-aware title; this story has earnest witty insights, powerful metaphors, and relatable delusions and downward slopes. Of course, recently, the 'sad girl' genre has taken on a life of its own. Therefore, taking a meta-approach, this novel achieves everything its contemporaries have, with extra soulful satire and intelligence. A circular narrative structure to complete the train motif? A plot about writing a sad girl novel which might just be the one you're reading? How clever...
