5.0 out of 5 stars A must read book for every teenage girl, July 7, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The CUPPI (Hardcover)

I read this book when I was 13 (17 yrs. ago) and it is the one book that I've never forgotten! It involves two runaway girls, Summer and Winter, who long for the glamour of the world. They fall into the hands of pimps who make them believe that they are actually model agents and want them all for themselves. These girls witness murder and beatings. This book delves deep into the minds of not only a young runaway girl, but also those around her and reveals the streets for what they are today. Cold and hungry for fresh young blood. Unfortunately, this book is one of the hardest I've ever tried to find again and do wish that it would come back into print as I'm sure it would be among the top books made available. If you can find it, grab hold and don't let go - this is one book you must read. You'll never look at life the same way.
