I found this book to be very interesting, as I always wonder what exactly went on in Rehab. This book tells it all and it surely isn't a piece of cake. Yet with all that these girls went through some actually made it and some just could not endure and had to repeat the process over and over again.. Makes me wonder if some of us are truly broken and can NOT ever be fixed.
I think you will find this book hard to put down.

Good Book, if you get through the introduction chapter. It really shows you the important things in life are happiness, beauty, and love.This is not a novel that you hurry through.It is about the life of two young girls, and what they went through.


Kabul Beauty School: An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil

This is an excellent book .It was funny,very sad, informative , and down right interesting. You learn so much about the poor women in Afghanistan and what they go through. They have all the dreams that we American women have but they have to hide everything even their thoughts. Ridiculous what the men put them through. Every woman in America should read this book to see how lucky we really are.

Excellent book!!! 549 pages long, but you will not get tired of reading it. It's a great story with very intriguing characters. There is an immigrant family struggling to make it in the new country, a raga muffin street girl trying to change her ways , a lonely Scottish physician who falls in love, a blind musical genius who is the main character, and many more.. This takes place in the 19th century in New York city. A wonderful historical romance story.

I loved this book. It was almost as good as Ahab's Wife. If you love adventure on the sea with women and children aboard you will find this book very interesting. It shows how strong we women can be and how love can get you through it all.
My own con about this book is that it was too short. I could have read soooo much more....

I enjoyed reading this book as it really made you feel like you were living on the streets with these women. It will break your heart to see what they have to go through. But on the other hand it show you just how strong we women really are. Good book!!!!
