This book was definitely my style reading. A story based around British teens in the post-war era. Typical female teenage drama (funny, how the dynamics of the relationships between girlfriends doesn't seem to change from era to era).
The story centers around a character who you can tell from the beginning - seems flat and boring but is on the brink of showing her true personality. Sure enough, she welcomes an eccentric friend into her life who *surprise surprise* brings out her true colors. I love stories like this. The seemingly flat and boring friend almost always ends up outshining the crazy, new, eccentric friend. Loved this book. It was nice to come home to after a day at school/mock trial and relax with this.
Plus, I had bought a pair of rain/snow boots around the same time I was reading this and the one character kept talking about her "wellies". One quick google and I find out that's just another word for "galoshes". Ha. No kidding!
