Title: Provacitive and Magical
Review: Colleen Corran evokes a portrait of a group of girls with a yearning for rebellion that is particular to students at a private-all-girls school in the city. I should know--I went to one in Philly. Corran's portrait of the three "whores" is almost magical. As you watch and feel them living this coming-of-age tale, you can't but to think to yourself: this couldn't be entirely real and you question some of their choices, but for some reason you want to be them all the same. The characters are finely drawn and the plot is captivating. Mostly though, this book embodies a 15-year-old's fantasy of what she fears she is missing. It's almost a love letter to that.
