Virgin Suicides is a book about the Lisbon family, they have five teenage daughters that all commit suicide in different ways. The youngest daughter Cecila cuts her wrists in the bath tub, the medics get her out in time. Their father believes that they need to have a party, to make all the girls happy. At the party Cecila jumps out of her bedroom window, killing herself. After this occurs the father decides to pull the girls out of school and away from their friends. Throughout the remainder of the novel the other four Lisbon girls all kill themselves in different ways, at the end the two parents pick up and move to a new place. I thought this book was riviting and very attention keeping. I would recomend to more towards girls then guys.
