LOCAL GIRLS, years ago was my intoduction to Hoffman. At that time, I felt that this book could speak to any female. I love this book and it is one book of very few that I have read more than once.
Immensely sad? At times, Indeed. I have noticed that many of A. Hoffmans books include opium addictions, though that is not the subject of the books. I find that not off putting as seems to me that so many families are affected by addictions.
This book has something for so many as it deals with teen pregnacy, cancer, friends with a parent who has mental difficulties, teens first love, death and the maze of high school and friendships.
I still think this is a wonderful book and I give it 5 stars!
