Strange Girls 'A superlative novel by one of our most perceptive writers' Julia Armfield

It is the best book I have read so far this year! Meet Ava and Aliya - two college students who share a burning passion for literature and inspire each other's own writing. Soon, a deeper connection develops between them, but there seems to be no label that is capable of describing their feelings for one another properly. The story is told across two different, but connected time lines. I enjoyed Hasin's writing style, which is crisp and clear, but also beautiful in describing complex emotions at the same time. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to read about authentic characters and complex interpersonal relationships.
