I don't quite have the words to describe this. Other than I couldn't look away from these 5 girls doomed to die but hoping that they'd be ok, that they got a happy ending.
The choice to have the narrator as an anonymous voice of one of the neighbourhood boys really heightened the fact that, although the story was about the Lisbon sisters, we would and could never get that close to them. Beautiful and sad.
