 Where the Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire is the 7th book in the Wayward Children series. In this book we follow Cora as she decides that Elanor West's home is not the right place for her and she needs to go to the Whitehorn Institute. Will Cora be able to become normal there by denying that she went through a door? 
 
I enjoyed this book. Cora's insecurities and growth are relatable for anybody who is on the bigger side and knows that its not always easy to lose weight. While Cora is not particularly a favorite of mine I did enjoy following her journey. I love this world where everything is tweaked and nothing make sense or everything make sense. These children's journeys and how they come together despite their differences is always interesting to read. The world building is so interesting because each door leads to a different world. McGuire's imagination is phenomenal with the different types of world and how they are good and bad. 
 
Four stars for being a great addition to the world. The book was slightly less than memorable, I read this a month ago and it took me a bit to remember the plot. Thank you to NetGalley, Macmillan-Tor/Forge, and Seanan McGuire for the free copy. This was an honest review.
