I recently read Girls in Trucks by Katie Crouch as an in-between book until I could get my hands on New Moon, the second book in the Twilight Saga (more on that at another time).
One word could sum up how I feel about this book: huh?
The book is all about Sarah Walters, who grows up in Charleston Society. She is a debutante, a Camellia. She is trained at cotillion and all that. Well, she rebels as a lot of Southern girls do. She moves north, is educated there and then has a failed relationship that leads her to one man's bed after another.
But while all this is going on, there's this slight weaving of her Camellia sisters who she doesn't really like and doesn't really keep in touch with. I don't get how all that works out. I'm still trying to figure it out. 3 of the Camellias end up in New York somehow, one stays behind in Charleston.
In the end, Sarah Walters arrives home after a tragedy, discovers family secrets which she accepts with a small amount of resistance. I mean, one second she's angry and the next she's very accepting. What's more, she meets a man who just might treat her right, but the book ends with a cliche.
All in all, the book was disappointing and didn't make a lot of sense to me how all the characters were interacting. It was waste of my time.
