Girls are Mean

I read Odd Girl Out and Odd Girl Speaks Out yesterday and as expected, girls are mean. But they’ve pretty much always been mean. Not all girls and not all of the time, of course. But they are, and they are mean in ways that boys are not. I enjoyed both books, though Odd Girl Speaks Out not so much. Suprisingly untouching stories – or maybe they weren’t very touching because I had just finished Odd Girl Out? Whatever the reason, I was disappointed.

I’ll be back, on one blog or another, to talk about mean girls, Odd Girl Out, us/them and she’s all that – after Michelle finishes reading both books and has time to process her thoughts. I don’t want to post and influence her.
