The whole story is told from the perspective of Evie, which gives the readers a chance to have a glimpse at the reasons that make people join cults. This is an allusion to Charles Manson, his gang, and the murders they committed. Just like any other sect or cult, there is a leader, the one they worship and serve. They believe in having secret knowledge that others are unable to understand. Driven by her loneliness, both hurt and inspired by her mother and father’s neglectfulness, Evie joins a group of people who consider themselves chosen ones. The 70s are still remembered as a decade of freedom and love by the majority of people, but Evie can’t forget them because of completely different reasons. Unfortunately, some dreams are doomed to die unfulfilled. She is just a teenage girl who has a huge crush on her best friend’s older brother, wants to be attractive and brave like the popular girls are and, of course, doesn’t want her family to split up. In spite of the fact that Evie is a protagonist of the novel, there is nothing special about her.
It is so easy to recognize oneself in them that it gets scaring. The characters of the novel suffer from their insecurities, loneliness, sexual desires and complexes. The author portrays people just the way they are. It shows how easy it is to lose oneself in the madness that is disguised as love, acceptanc,e and boundless freedom. The Girlsby Emma Cline generates a rather strong feeling of uneasiness and fear for both strangers and oneself.
