I bought this book in a jumble sale and didn't expect it to be so entertaining and surprisingly refreshing! The female characters of the book are so different yet similar in many ways. They were all striving towards freedom of self expression and in the end they find it by completely different means. The addition of the male characters to the story line brought a nice but secondary spice to the book.

But it was fun, entertaining and the story moved quickly.
