Synopsis

A visceral story of friendship, music, and bloody revenge Rachel feels like she doesn't fit in - until she finds heavy metal and meets Fern, a kindred spirit. The two form their own band, but the metal scene turns out to be no different than the misogynist world they want to change. Violent encounters escalate, and the friends decide there's only one way forward . . . A bloodstained journey into the dark heart of the music industry, Boring Girls traces Rachel's deadly coming of age, Fern at her side. As the madness deepens, their band's success heightens, and their taste for revenge grows ravenous.

Goodreads review by Kristi on February 04, 2015

One of those books that you begin to read thinking and feeling one way, and by the end of it, you have a completely different wave of emotion and thought.
