Girls Forever Brave and True

If you want to laugh and be engaged, buy this book.It's romantic, it's funny, its political, and it has something to say. I read this book first, then the 'Virgins' book that came before it. I enjoyed them both. You can read them in either order.The author has a real flare for the absurd and for excellent characterizations. I'll read anything she writes, but I truly fell in love with these characters.

I love this book! It is the sequal to the hilarious "Virgins". Anyone woman who grew up going to Catholic school will fall on the floor laughing at this one.

There aren't many book for teenagers, and this one was great. I never started to read books until I read Caryl Rivers.

Read VIRGINS first -- especially if you're like me and own amug that reads "I Survived Catholic School." Thecharacters are ABSOLUTELY credible ... if you doubt this, you didn't survive Vatican II with the rest of us. Although I'm a tad younger than the protagonists, I related with them from the first page of VIRGINS right through the end of GIRLS FOREVER, BRAVE AND TRUE. I stumbled on this web site looking for more Caryl Rivers fiction, and was disappointed to find the story of Peg, Con, and Sean hasn't been extended to their lives as grandparents!
