At home, Darcy Prentiss lives in a world of women with her older sister Mags, her mother, her aunt, and her cousin Nell. During the day she works at her summer job raking blueberrie
s and at night she’s drinking and swimming with the boys in the quarry. She knows how to have a good time, just like anyone else, but when you’ve been designated the town slut, every move you make seems to further solidify your “trashy girl” reputation.
Darcy is haunted by a few things in her past which the novel doesn’t fully reveal making this story somewhat of a “mystery”. Darcy wants to be free but she also wants to shake her reputation. I loved her character and her relationship with her sister and her sweet cousin Nell. Overall this is a well-written story with strong female characters that any reader could relate to. My only bone to pick is that it deals with a lot of issues that aren’t fully fleshed out by the end of the novel – but it doesn’t sully the story, it’s still a good read!
