Can these girls survive a summer break of freedom? Will one of them give up their virginity in college or remain pure for their future husband? Can these girls, as Christians, join a sorority?

Poor writing, poor exposition, poor editing. I mean basic stuff high schoolers should have mastered. Also scenes are poorly set, the story is uneven and doesn’t make a lot of sense, with plot holes you could drive an Ivy Kennington through. The author uses the word “smirk” like she’s getting paid 50 cents per use, and seems to think it means the same as “smile”, as the characters are constantly smirking for no real reason.
The title implies that it is about a group of girls but it’s mostly about just one, so I guess this is the first of the series (?)
It is a very nice-quality hardback book but is obviously self-published; no self-respecting publisher would have let something so amateurish and sloppy go out as-is.
The story is set in Chicago but it seems like it was written by someone who has never been there or even bothered to do any research about it. In fact, add research in general to the list of things that are poorly done in this book. Also air travel by someone who has never caught a flight, a cabin stay by someone who has never been in one, I could go on.
There is some good information at the beginning for college-bound teens-websites included-but there’s also this crackpot diatribe about fraternities and sororities. Coupled with the pink-and-green imagery at the end, it reads like the author had an axe to grind against a sorority that rejected her.

I loved this book! The scenes were captivating. She painted a picture of the ghetto in Chicago very well. I had no clue that someone could live like that? It’s fiction but wondering if any of it was real? The girl losing her virginity was so sad. I was in tears. I love these girls. Looking forward to the next book. Great book for teen girls especially Christians. It was great!
