Engulfed by vivid images of the past, she reminisces about a trio of girls who initiated her into the the fierce politics of childhood and its secret world of friendship, longing, and betrayal.

"It's been awhile since I read this as a teenager, but I remember enjoying it greatly. Wonderful coming-of-age book."

"Honestly trying to brush up on my 'CanLit' and read more Atwood...uhhh this was a somewhat hard read and I put it down a few times. BUT once it got going, in the middle bit, I was totally engrossed and glad I finished. Dark look at the the psychological intricacies of female friendships."
