Lindy has faced so many intolerable and enraging situations as a fat woman who is outspoken in her writing and on social media, but she always frames her negative experiences with humor and perspective.

Emma Cline is more interested in studying the loneliness and confusion of being a teenage girl, rather than the depravity of being a cult leader. So the focus remains solidly on Evie Boyd, who has reached the exact point of longing and vulnerability that could lead an innocent- ish girl to fall in love with the women who surround the cult leader.

His debut novel would still be a lovely, emotionally raw meditation on a complicated friendship between two women, even if the author weren't a man. But Rich and Pretty is especially jolting because it's clearly a feat of intense observation and imagination.
