Whores on the Hill: A Novel

The girls of Sacred Heart Holy Angels eye the good dancers at the all-ages club Metropolis. They waste afternoons at the mall, check out parties on the lake, burn through candid, casual sex. Everybody calls them the Whores on the Hill, but they don't care. It is the mid-'80s and they go to the last all-girls' school in Milwaukee, where innocence is scarce and happiness is something to grabbed at in the backseat of a fast car. Meet exuberant, uninhibited Astrid, her nervy, troubled friend Juli and Thisbe, the shy, ascetic newcomer. They are fifteen years old. And they believe they can take on the world, no matter what it calls them. But when euphoric promiscuity mixes with a series of dangerous, deadly pranks, their world at Sacred Heart Holy Angels can never be the same.

In fact Ms. Curran shows how an all girls' education can be quite empowering.I am a high school English teacher and we are always looking for good and yet...

AMAZING book

This is NOT a coming of age novel by any means... but it is a "coming of responsibility" novel. I live in Wauwatosa, just outside of Milwaukee and right where this book takes place. Half of the places they mention I know where they are. Originally, I picked up this book just as a laugh because it was supposed to be based on DSHA (Divine Savior Holy Angels... see a connection?) the last all girls Catholic school in Milwaukee...

Finally, A Novel About What Teenage Life Is Really Like

[...]Whores on the Hill is actually an amazing story about three young women trying to understand and take control of their lives, their dreams, and their own sexuality. It's basically what every teenager (male and female) goes through, but in this book, Colleen Curran has not avoided addressing these issues in real terms. Curran doesn't gloss over the startling reality of teenage sex and drug use. She presents the story of...
