review 1: It's scary how emotionaly involve I got in this book. Not even in a fun sort of way, but more like I was looking down upon an awful situation with no way to help. I feel like there's something really deep in this book that I just don't have enough experience tobunserstand. Or maybe it was just written to act like it was smart really wasn't. Either way, I really don't have a legitamte opinion about this book, and I can't pinpoint exacty what made it so strange in the end.
review 2: This book was a little odd for me. The characters were not really very likeable, and the main character, Valentina, spent most of her time in this weird half dream, half reality state to the point where the lines blurred and I couldn't tell what was really happening and what she was d
... morereaming. The story is essentially about two girls who become friends and shoplift together. Francie, the gorgeous blonde who is also a little "off", and Val, who fades into the background more often than not. Francie is a little psycho (as is her mother), and Val's brother is dying (but of what we're not sure.) I didn't hate this book, I mostly just felt like I could've gone without reading it and been okay. less
