Publisher's summary

With Ugly Girls, Lindsay Hunter delivers a powerful, voice-driven novel with the breakneck pace that people have come to expect from her.

Ugly Girls, at its core, is about the friendship between two girls, Perry and Baby Girl, and how that friendship descends into chaos, taking their world and the identities they hold dear with it. Their friendship is woven from the threads of never-ending dares and the struggle with power; their loyalty, something they attend to like a pet but forget to feed. Ugliness is something they trade between themselves, one ugly on the outside and one on the inside.

While the girls spend their nights sneaking out, stealing cars for joyrides, and eating French fries at the 24-hour Denny's, danger lurks. Jamey is pining after Perry from behind the computer screen inside his mother's trailer. He's been watching the girls for a while, on Facebook and in person - though they've never seen him in the flesh - posing as a boy from a high school a couple of neighborhoods over. When they finally do meet Jamey face-to-face, they quickly realize he's far from a nice high school boy, and the girls will do whatever is necessary to protect themselves.

Ugly girls

If you ever want a reminder of how miserable life can be, this is your book. I found the character’s as compelling as they were depressing. I got the ending, but I was curious about the other characters. Now I need a comedy! This is a grim book.

Let down....

I purchased this book because Kathleen early was the narrator and so far I've loved anything she has narrated by this book or at least the storyline definitely came up short! I don't really think there ever was a plot… And it ended abruptly… I'm laughing kind of confused and lost… The whole time I was waiting for the story to peek so when it ended it literally left me yelling "WHAT?"

I returned it

I love the narrator so that's why I clicked on this book I even read a couple of reviews but thought I'd give it a try anyway. I felt like the story dragged on. I didn't really like any of the characters. Too many mistakes in the book itself. A few times the narrator said the wrong name. This book was very flat and I don't recommend it at all.
