Nemesis Girls is a collection of four short stories centred on growing up ordinary, angry and lustful in Kingston, Ontario (the city of contrasts) in the 1980s and then moving away wiser and thicker-skinned. Christina Decarie takes readers to the core of adolescent rivalry, teenaged longing, minimum wage frustration and then early-adult isolation in this smart, small book. Her prose is clear, unsentimental and unrelenting. Decarie is a sharp new voice packaged here in a tidy, limited edition chapbook. All copies of Nemesis Girls are signed and numbered by the author.
