This book is a graphic melodrama of romance, crime, and passion. It addresses adolescent angst in all of its fashionably gory details. The snares and pitfalls of contemporary life, which all girls must struggle to survive, are here revealed through darkly comic and fiendishly noir prose, accompanied by lurid collages and unusual typography. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
