About this listen

A raw and riveting coming-of-age story about the wild love of teenage friendships and the casual oppression of nineties rape culture.

Emelia Symington-Fedy grew up with her girl gang on the railroad tracks of a small town in British Columbia. Unsupervised and wild, the girls explored the power and shortcomings of "best" friendships and their growing sexuality.

Two decades later an eighteen-year-old girl is murdered on Halloween on the same tracks, and Symington-Fedy returns to her hometown to stay with her mother, who is fearful of a murderer at large.

While the media narrows its focus on how the girl dared be alone on the tracks, Symington-Fedy slowly comes to terms with the mistreatment of her own teenage body. Giving a bold and often darkly humorous first-hand account of nineties rape culture and the sexual coercion that still permeates girlhood, Symington-Fedy holds her hometown close and accountable and exposes the subtle ways that misogyny shows up daily.

Healing Hilarious, Gut wrenching and brave.

This book left me feeling like I was gifted hundreds of tiny little bandaids over my own personal memories, experiences, and shame as a teen raised in the early 90’s. Narrated by the author with nuance and ease Emelia takes you on a journey of nostalgia in the guts of her experiences and reminds us that the connective tissue that we all have in common is truth. The mystery she uncovers is shocking.
Very emotionally brave, often hilarious and full of heart. A beautiful memoir.

Young women being described.

This was amazing. What an understanding of what young women in the 80s and 90s went through. A modern version of Margaret Atwood’s cats eye.
