Five young girls -- talented Deborah, fashion victim Roz, eccentric Lucy, dependable Ali and indecisive Lalie -- on the brink of adulthood. * This is a novel about women's lives, about what happens to those intense, cloying teenage friendships when everyone grows up, gets married, leaves their home town. A razor-sharp rites of passage novel. Set in the 1980s. * Suzannah Dunn at her very best, writing about ordinary life in an extraordinary way. Packed full of humour and insight.
