Customer Reviews
Page turner!
I wasn't sure what to expect of this book, but I enjoy short stories so I gave it a shot. The writing was thought provoking and even a bit shocking at times, but they were "real" stories about love, relationships and troubled youth. The stories are rich in detail and left me wanting to know more about the characters. My heart ached for many of the girls and some of them made me laugh out loud. I enjoyed Up Island, Pink Room, Chicken Shack and Maternity Benefits. I loved the book and if a little colourful language and colourful characters don't bother you, you'll love it too.
Jenn Farrell knows how to tell a story.
