Vanessa Walters - rude girls (Pan)

ISBN 0-330-34349-1 (paperback)

First published 1996.

Paula, Janice and Shree are best friends living in London. Paula is a single mother who is constantly taken for a ride by her son's father; Janice is looking for a job, but hindered in her efforts by her friends' inability to understand why she wants one; and Shree is worried by the disappearance of her father after a stabbing incident.

The girls party, meet new friends, fall in and out of love, and generally lead the lives of careless twenty-somethings. Unsurprisingly, something bad happens; but the book ends on a positive note.

Nothing really deep; but a good read, with Girl Power evident throughout.
