The Virgin Suicides by Jeffery Eugenides

Recently I just finished reading the first chapter of the book "The Virgin Suicides" by Jeffery Eudenides. Basically this book is about the Lisbon girls who are 5 sisters that commit suicide one after the other after the other. The book is told from the perspectives of the boys who lived across the street from them, who try to piece together the reasons for their deaths. The boys observe from afar but they are transfixed with these girls who all live in one secret house with all these mystery's that no one has ever uncovered. 

The first chapter is mostly about the youngest Lisbon girl who cuts herself in the bathtub but then is found and saved. Then even after she survives she tries to kill herself again except this time it actually works. I really have so many questions about this girl. Why would she want to kill herself after all she is only 13. Also I wonder what is going through that girls head. The whole family seems really creepy especially all the girls. I wondering if like they all had a pact to kill themselves or it just happened. They seem like very sheltered children who aren't allowed to wear makeup or see boys. They all just live together in one house and it just seems really creepy.  I also wonder like what's going through the youngest girls head, she always wore the same exact white wedding dress she owned no matter what she did or where she went. Even when she was put into the hospital for attempting to kill herself the first time she refused to wear anything else besides that dress. I'm thinking there a lot of hidden messages about their deaths, but it's just too early yet to figure them out. 

It is still quite early in the book so it's hard to try to pull out some philosophical issues yet but I was thinking about some that could get bigger in the book. I was thinking about the act of suicide and if it should be considered like wrong to do. I think that like for some people it really feels like the only way out of the situation that they are in except it does really affect the people around you and that care about you most in the world. Now,  I don't know about this book because I have no idea why these girls are killing themselves because I don't really have that much information about the story yet, except from what I see so far I'm a little confused. Why would such a young girl feel the need to kill herself when she has such a life ahead of her. Also why then would all her sisters do it too. There's just something really weird and mysterious about the whole thing. 

Finally the book is told from the perspective of these boys and I can totally see why they would be transfixed with these girls. There is something about them that makes you want to know more even if it creeps you out a little. They live across the street from them and I would wonder about them myself. They are all also very very pretty and you always want to know more about them. These boys seem to know things and they plan to also find out more. 

I'm really curious to see what's going to happen in this book because it's really interesting and very intriguing.
