Into their reality of first-class trips to Europe, resort vacations, and deb parties enter the Vietnam War, the women's movement, and the sexual revolution.

Entertaining read if flawed. It's chief problem is that it throws it's net too wide - by attempting to cover the formative years of 5 girls in only 347 pages, I finished the novel feeling as though I really didn't know any of them too well. One example: One of the girls, Lisa, suffers from anorexia during her first year at the school. The author goes into adequate detail explaining how Lisa suffered from the disease, but little else. By the Lisa's second year, she has recovered and is no longerOh, I loved this book.
This book is sweet-and sometimes saucy--and has remained one of those books that I go back to every few years. There's just something about the characters that stick with me.

Especially interesting because she was the girl who testified against Warren Jeffs. A very interesting look at living in a polygamist family, which is ruled by terror and the whims of the prophet.
so far goodi think it really could be 3.5 stars. I enjoyed reading about the girls in private boarding school
I think appreciate this book more entering my 40s than had I read this when I was younger. A lovely coming of age novel, capturing the excitement of growing up, the joy of remembering with friends as well as the sadness that past times can never truly be entered again.
I finished this book in the middle of the night and wanted to know how the rest of their lives played out. I wanted a book about each of the women covering the Miss Pratt's School years in more detail, I wanted to know...I guess the only word is "more". Somehow each of these women became so real that I actually felt I had graduated with them and knew them well. This is one of those rare books that almost begs to be read again to see how you missed the clues the first time.
