    <![CDATA[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.<br/><br/>Everybody calls them the Whores on the Hill, but they don't care.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>But when euphoric promiscuity mixes with a series of dangerous, deadly pranks, their world at Sacred Heart Holy Angels can never be the same. <br/>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book started really slow for me.  It's a ridiculously stereotypical view of Catholic school.  Several things rang true--the boys school in the book has the same name as my HS and many of the same chants, but mostly I liked NO ONE in the book.  I dunno if that was intentional or not.

    <![CDATA[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.<br/><br/>Everybody calls them the Whores on the Hill, but they don't care.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>But when euphoric promiscuity mixes with a series of dangerous, deadly pranks, their world at Sacred Heart Holy Angels can never be the same. <br/>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A wildly uneven but engrossing story of bad girls in the late 1980's. Enough parallels with my own tarnished high school career that I stuck it out. Curran has a lot of promise, I think. Her writing is very vivid, very intense, but she tends to telegraph the upcoming plot twists a little too clearly...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6128709">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[short and quick and just about everything I expected. it was well written for what it was and the ending totally fit the setting of the book. Of course someone would go out &quot;with a bang&quot; almost every movie in the '80's ended with some sort of totally unrealistic ending. just makes sense. ]]></body>

It really captures a time in Milwaukee that was pretty special.  The characters are probably a little older than me, but the sense of place is right on.]]></body>
