Title: Bad Girls
Pages: 308
Author: Alex mcaualay

When I first picked up this book, it struck me as being kinda like mean girls ( u can kinda see how i made that conncetion). But i was completely wrong. Bad girls is barely about cliques, boyfriends, or the high school life. Instead it analyzes the psyche of teenage girls. The story begans when Anna, a troubled teen gets sent away to a reform camp by her weak and tired parents who just cant handle their crazy daughter anymore. Camp Archstone is located on a deserted island in the middle of the carribean where each girl is worse than the next. From theft to practically killing their own parents, Anna's small partying and getting high seems like childplay. I guess you could say camp archstone was like juvie, but not as bad. But to the girls( and any normal human being) it was torture. The girls were told what to do, how to do it, and if they didnt listen there were punishments.

Anna's adventure begins when the group go for an out of camp grounds hike in the mast carribean forest. Halfway up their trail, a wild shooting occurs and kills the leader of the group and strikes panic into everygirls heart. Their first reflex was of course, to run. But who can run like mad in a massive forest and not get lost? noone. And thats how it happened...how Anna and a small group of girls were stranded on an island where there was no food, no shelter, and no water. Facing death, sickness, starvation and even the encounter of two crazed durg dealers the girls come close to the face of death. Only the strongest girl will make it out alive. As you read through, their group of 7 ends up with only 1. This story, i have to say is really something. The author writes with really great descriptions that make me picture perfectly how the scene would be. There are some parts that make me want to puke, but i guess that just shows how good a writer mcaulay is. This is a great book, and i definately reccomend it...unless you love and ONLY love those lovey dovey types. But hey, give this a try anyways
