Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Girls (2016) is the debut novel by Emma Cline.Evie Boyd is a rather aimless middle-aged woman working as a live-in personal assistant, sometime around the turn of the 21st century. Her temp gig as a housesitter is interrupted when the owner's son and his needy teenaged girlfriend arrive. The presence of the girl forcefully reminds Evie of the most tumultuous time in her life: the two months in 1969 when 14-year-old Evie was a member of a cult led by a ragamuffin would-be musician named Russell.The story turns out to be a fictionalized retelling of the Charles Manson murders. Alienated suburbanite Evie is strongly attracted to the rebellious free-love atmosphere of Russell's dirty little commune, and specifically to Suzanne, one of Russell's most devoted followers. Suzanne's bold sexuality and free-spiritedness are a powerful attraction to teenaged Evie, alienated from her divorced parents, looking desperately for meaning and acceptance. Evie's lust for Suzanne and her need for belonging take her down a dark path and threaten to pull her into monstrous evil.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

The Girls / int_3079b64 | comment |
Author Catchphrase: The word "wet" is used 43 times in the novel. Wet hands, wet clothes from the rain, hair wet with sweat, sexually wet, "wet, overripe tomatoes", a man "gasping wetly" from climax... Cline's rather unusual use of "queer" in its original meaning; see Have a Gay Old Time below. | |

Cassandra Truth: Not long before the murders, Evie cajoles a nice young man named Tim into accompanying her to the ranch. A couple of hours in the presence of Russell's minions leads a horrified Tim to get the hell out of there, but not before he begs Evie to come with him, telling her that the others "are not nice people." Evie ignores him. | |
