A quick synopsis of Tucker Shaw’s The Girls--Peg and Mary are roommates and best friends at Maroon Bell’s School for Girls (MBSG). Amber is the barista at Timberlake, the local Starbucks equivalent, and the local gossip dispenser. Sylvia is the rich, plastic Goth girl troublemaker.
On the Sunday after winter break, Peg overhears Amber saying that Mary's boyfriend, Steve, is cheating on her and going out with Crystal. Should Peg tell Mary? What should a best friend do? Sylvia is also at Timberlake and overhears Amber as well.
Sylvia, forever causing trouble, gives Mary a belated holiday present—a gift card to Timberlake, knowing that Amber will spill the beans about Steve the minute she sees Mary. Once Mary knows, what’s next? Well, that’s actually for you to find out when you read The Girls.

I read The Girls in a day, smiling the whole way through. You’ll like everyone...well, almost everyone. There are a few more wrinkles than I’ve mentioned here. But it’s all good fun. And, since Peg went to culinary school, there are recipes. My only complaint is that there aren’t enough recipes! Anyway, if you want an escape, The Girls is for you. And be sure to read Tucker Shaw's other book Flavor of the Week.
Thanks for the heads up on this one. Flavor of the Week is very popular in our school-- I just this one was more of a "boy" book.
