Sorry for the random comment, but got linked by someone because I was musing on the overtly approved appearance of girl crushes in Dorothy L. Sayer's and Agatha Christie's works. Both the novels in question (Unnatural Death and Nemesis) frame the girl crush as a natural thing for a schoolgirl that only becomes morbid when it replaces heterosexuality in adulthood (though there's a Boston marriage portrayed as relatively healthy in Unnatural Death alongside one portrayed as unhealthy/unnatural). So it was AWESOME to see this discussed in further literary context! Thank you for posting!
