This won the National Book Award so I was expecting a lot and was so disappointed. This is one of those novels where you can picture the writer typing, as with this passage: "Girls peering into compacts, lying to each other about how pretty the other one looked. Girls in petticoats and stockings, hair brushed 100 strokes, perfume from the bottle they got for Christmas. Girls laughing at nothing. Girls going to a dance." I dunno. Didn't do it for me.
