With a rough home life, Doll seeks every chance she can to escape and hang out with one of the local bad boys, but her need to be noticed may land her in serious trouble. Janet hasn't inherited the smarts of her doctor father, but she's content to let life lead her rather than grab the steering wheel. Kathy's the smartest of the group, but her know-it-all attitude can be a real turnoff. Amelia has her mother's drop-dead gorgeous looks and blue-blood Montana roots, but with a handicapped sister and an absent father, her world is waiting to shatter.As the leader of the group, Hilary doesn't make any decisions without carefully calculating the potential outcome. She's chosen the others to be her friends in order to help her achieve her goals, but each of these young women is about to discover there's little they can control when it comes to what fate has in store.… (mais)

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher as part of the Goodreads First Read program.

This is a reprint of a 1977 novel about five girls coming of age during the 1930s in Missoula, Montana. The girls represent the different social and economic conditions of the time and place. Their friendship is based a great deal on shared age and proximity (they are all seniors at the small town’s only high school) although their family circumstances are very different.

The narration was somewhat uneven and jumped around a bit. I found it charming at times and exasperating at other times. I put it aside a couple of times, but my curiosity about what happens led me to finish it. There were several surprises (not all of them happy ones) but the ending was realistic and narratively satisfying. ( )
