6 journalers for this copy...
i picked up a pile of books from the library sale this morning (woohoo!); this is one of them :)
from the back cover blurb:
"being different isn't really so different.
MOLLY BOLT. she's just another dirt-poor, little ole southern girl who played doctor with the boys, beat up leroy the fat, sloppy tub... and lost her virginity to her girlfriend in sixth grade.
MOLLY BOLT. she's the skinny, big-mouthed brat who grew up beautiful, mesmerized the head cheerleader of ft. lauderdale high, captivated a gorgeous jack daniels-guzzling heiress, and took off for new york city to become the greatest filmmaker that ever lived.
MOLLY BOLT. she's funny, reckless, gutsy and wild. a full-blooded, all-american, 100% true-blue-gay - and proud of it!"

as far as coming-of-age tales go, this is smartly written and wryly observed, although i generally don't enjoy memoir-type books (and usually find myself rolling my eyes at "dirt-poor-southern-family" type stories!) sadly, this book didn't set my world on fire, although i imagine that when it was written, it might've been a big sensation. maybe the next reader will find something wonderful about it...
i put this in the post to BosseBallong yesterday; hope you enjoy it!!
I just this book in the post today (my girlfriend picked it up for me). Im soooo excited, cos i've been wanting to read it for ages, so thank you soo much cosminx! You rock!
This book is awesome. It is hilarious and i love it! Thanks again cosminx!
Okay, I mean tho send this book to West Yorkshire, and as I cant find it on my shelves, i must have sent it already? I hope the person I sent it to gets it okay and journals it, so we all find out where it is!
Haha! Found it! It had fallen behind some other books, and will now be promptly sent off to the UK!

Thank you Plum-crazy, you made one of my whishes come true :) I'm really looking forward to reading this book :D
Such a great book! It's about living on the fringes of society and outside the American dream. I've become kind of bored with the average "boy meet girl and they live happily ever after in this perfect world"-stories, there are other stories to be told and we've got to listen.
You've been tagged! :) I hope you'll enjoy this book
