Emma Cline knows that being a teen is hard.
"A teenager's brain is an oppressive place to spend a lot of time," she said.
This week on the MashReads Podcast we chat with Cline about her debut novel, The Girls. The book follows Evie, a teen in the '60s, during the summer when she finds herself pulled into a Manson-like commune.
