Book description (from Good Reads): Susan, Esther, and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. But in the face of handwringing boys, “personal experimentation,” influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of “academia,” they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive. Going off to university is always a time of change and growth, but for Esther, Susan, and Daisy, things are about to get a little weird.
Thoughts:
So yeah. It is a nice character-based story. Lately, I keep picking up character based stories, not bad except that I am supposed to be looking for something with more plot-driven ones.
It is full of the adventures a group of freshman girls have when they're beginning their college life.
It has past romances drama, they face the objectification from a group of boys and the lack of concern from authority figures, struggles with image and self-worth in a way.
Pretty much a story of the things most people face when they're beginning this new stage of their life, you are meant to identify with the girls, we have the very shy innocent girl, the more outgoing kind of goth girl and the more down to earth girl, not bothering with being too girly to dress but very "mature" and then comes out and has childish drama as any teen oh well.
It was good, a typical contemporary. Nice easy read.
