Friday 56 – Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins

Welcome to Friday 56! Hosted by Freda’s Voice, you turn to page 56 or 56% in any book or reading device and pick a sentence that grabs you.

My Book of the Week is Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins (click for link to Goodreads)

As page 56 is a title page saying “Before”. I am choosing a quote from page 57:

“Brittany is crying again.

Amma lies on the bottom bunk, listening to the sobs above. They’re muffled because Brittany has buried her face into her pillow or the wall or a blanket – she tries to hide it, but this isn’t the graceful crying that girls do in movies, silent tears tracking down pale faces. This is full-body shit, shoulders shaking, tears spraying, nose leaking, throat aching.”

I am only just at this chapter so I am intrigued to see what has gone on and how they can now afford to pay for a boat trip in the present day.
