Search - The Bitch Posse

This is a great relationship story about a group of high school friends and the way a tragedy affected their adult lives. I loved how the author created such complex characters in her story.

While this book is definitely a page turner (I could NOT put it down!), I found it very disturbing and I cringe at the thought of a teen or anyone struggling with self-worth issues or depression reading this book. The book seems to encourage many self damaging actions. The characters find relief in drinking, drugs, loveless sex and cutting. I want it out of my house before my 16 year old daughter's attention is grabbed by the title.

The story of 3 best friends and their self-destructive behavior. They're promiscuous, they smoke, drink, lie, shoplift, take drugs,and cut themselves - all on a regular basis. This behavior goes beyond the teenage years into adulthood. A terrible secret is hinted at throughout the book and is not exposed until the very end. I found the story a bit depressing, but I did finish to find out what the secret was. Not really my cup of tea.

True, this book is dark and twisty and the hard core chick-lit reader would be turned off with this direct look into the world of hidden taboo's. However, if you are interested in a good book that will open your eyes to societies little secrets this is a good read. It was a nice change from the standard woman's fiction of : "girl meets boy, boy causes snafu, girl realizes mistake and yay... happily ever after"

This book was definitely a page turner. Do not let the cover fool you - this is no fluffy Bridget Jones. It is slightly dark and twisted novel of 3 friends. The intricate story the author weaves makes you able to relate to the complex characters to the core.

Surprising good. Dark, gripping story of old friends.
