Laura Kasischke has mastered writing about the dark-side of teenage girls. And most of her books revolve around this subject matter but these aren't feel good books there are usually dire consequences for her characters. And many times you think 'Shit I would have done or did that same thing when I was that age.' She understands the thought processes and pressures of these characters and if her books aren't set in the teen/childhood years most of the characters problems stem from those times in the character's life...as with anyone. I highly recommend any of her books though this one is not her best it is still pretty good. This book in particular is about cheerleading camp and starts out where a counselor is telling urban myth type stories in that particular area. She starts telling one that is "true" and that is the story of Boy Heaven. There are three central characters to this story Kristy, Kristi and Desiree. The story is written in first person by Kristy Sweetland. "I felt powerful being pretty-but I also wanted to be good. I believed in God. And in Jesus. And in "Pretty is as pretty does" which is what my stepfather used to say whenever I stood in front of the mirror too long. I didn't know what that meant exactly. Could pretty do anything? I wasn't a verb, I knew that much. Under some circumstances I suppose it could be a noun. But I tried to be humble and nice anyway." The central question of this story ends up being just this. It also dissects how the character sees herself versus how she really is. "I wasn't like Desiree, with a handful of snow for a heart(Once she'd stuffed a gum wrapper into the Salvation Army bucket outside the mall pretending it was a dollar, and when the bellringer had said, "Thank you miss! God bless you!" Desiree replied, "God bless you too," with such sincerity I couldn't help laughing, although I also knew I could never have done a thing like that.)" I won't go into it much more it's a great book, beautifully written, and well worth your time but if you are just starting to read Kasischke's books I would start with The Life Before Her Eyes or Suspicious River or White Bird In A Blizzard. If if I had to comapre her to another author I would say Joyce Carol Oates. This author should be better known that she is. I think she isn't as well known because her last name is so difficult to say or spell.
