I'm reading The Whores on the Hill by Colleen Curran and loving it. It's a quick read, and upon first glance, you'd think that it was written for the age group it was written about (highschool Freshman). It's not. I started it yesterday and am about 1/2 way through it already because I can't put it down ... except for iMSN of course! It's a brutal tale of three private/all-girls high school girls who are named "the Whores on the Hill," and they just don't care. It's their story of growing up, growing out, and moving on. I absolutely recommend it.
Amazon.com says; "The girls of Sacred Heart Holy Angels eye the good dancers at the all-ages club Metropolis. They waste afternoons at the mall, check out parties on the lake, burn through candid, casual sex.
Everybody calls them the Whores on the Hill, but they don't care.
It is the mid-'80s and they go to the last all-girls' school in Milwaukee, where innocence is scarce and happiness is something to grabbed at in the backseat of a fast car.
Meet exuberant, uninhibited Astrid, her nervy, troubled friend Juli and Thisbe, the shy, ascetic newcomer. They are fifteen years old. And they believe they can take on the world, no matter what it calls them.
But when euphoric promiscuity mixes with a series of dangerous, deadly pranks, their world at Sacred Heart Holy Angels can never be the same."
