Eating the Cheshire Cat by Helen Ellis

Crazy. . crazy funny. that's the only way to describe this book. Ms. Ellis has to be crazy too. Its about three high school girls that are not friends. However, they impact each other's lives in a big way. The story follows these girls from jr. high to their early college years. Think Mean Girls meets Girl Interrupted.

Sarina is the beeotch of the three. Totally beautiful, cheerleader type. She's not only mean, but a tad evil. The things that she does to get her way cause major problems. She doesn't just spread dirty rumours. Bitty Jack is sweet, smart, not so pretty. . . average looking. Her life is impacted by the horrible things that Sarina does to her and her family from jr. high all the way to college. Lastly, there is Nicole. Nicole and Sarina were best friends in jr. high. She is obsessed with Sarina. Obsessed 'til the very end.

Not only is this story about three girls, but it also gives insight into why they are they way that they are. Their mothers are also part of the story. The mothers are the ones instigating, supporting, and pressuring. We (women) all turn into our mothers. . . . Crap!
