Easily the least well-written of the Spa Girls trilogy. I'm still pretty sure that I don't understand Poppy. Her friends, who we have come to know and love in the two earlier books in the series, come across as silly & self-involved. She herself is confused & convoluted (or maybe that's just the writing) and not really believable. Kind of reminded me of a friend of mine though. After reading some of the introduction, I think Ms. Billerbeck may have used this book/character as a way to promote some of her own views. While that in and of itself is not a problem, it wasn't written into the book well. If you are a fan of the series, you should read this one just for completion, but you'll probably miss the excitement and interest of the other two books.
