What the blurb on the back says...

"It's 1984 and one of the hottest sumers Yorkshire's seen. It's the kind of woozy heat to lose your mind in...

Mona is fifteen years old. She's a drinker, a thief and a fruit-machine addict. Things are already going badly in the pub where she lives with her obese stepbrother PorkChop. But when Mona meets posh Tamsin Fakenham, a sassy girl with beautiful breasts, an actress mother and a sister who's died of starvation, things very quickly get much worse..."

What I thought of it...

I will definitely say that this book was disturbing. There were very vivid scenes described in great detail. This book was also weird. I didn't quite get the point of it. After I'd finished it, I remember thinking that I wished I'd spent my time reading something else a bit better but then found myself thinking about the book many days after finishing it. I think you need a vivid imagination the read this book, which is probably why I failed to 'get' it!
