Format:Paperback
I have to say that i struggled with this book. The writing was very good, but the storylines were very confusing and not all of them seemed necessary. To be honest i think this could have made at least 2 decent novels, rather than stuffing everything into the one book. I also didn't enjoy the ending which i felt was a little bit of a damp squib.

I have to be honest - this was my least enjoyable LL novel; I've read them all and they all follow a familiar path - Africa to England, black meets white, girl meets boy etc etc but generally the writing is sumptuous and the plot pacy.
I did enjoy 'Rich Girl, Poor Girl' but it was just ok and frankly, a bit confusing at times. Tory, Nic and Caryn all meet at a posh English school and a lifetime friendship is formed. All from completely different backgrounds, they rub along nicely and all of them have the odd skeleton in their closet waiting to pop out but the tagline reads, 'Three friends...one secret that will tear them apart', and this just isnt the case! There's lots of secrets and most characters in the book have at least one so it all becomes a bit tangled up! Throw poor Estelle into the mix and it all starts to go a little haywire...
If you're a fan you'll be giving it a go anyway and if your not - look at some of her other work, it's much better!

I have loved her other books and was waiting anxiously for this new one. I thought the other books were all fantastic, 5 stars and I feel I was generous in giving this one a 2 star. I found it very confusing, the way the characters jumped from one another, none of the story lines really well developed. about 200 pages that were needless, I really struggled to get through this book.
Overall, i would say skip this one and wait for her next book.

Same old story
I have read all of Lesley Lokko's books (in no particular order) and I have to say that they're all starting to merge into one. Read more

Disappointing
It started off great about the three girls all from different walks of life, meeting together and becoming friends. Read more

Not her best but still good
The thing I like about Lesley Lokko's novel's is that they have the elements of the typical glamourous, girly blockbuster type novel (which I love) but they are a bit more... Read more

Good once it gets going
I found this book to be both good and bad. It's apparent that Leslie Lokko, the author, is a wonderful writer. Her style flows perfectly, and her descriptions are all very visual. Read more

Brilliant
This is completely the opposite kind of book to the ones I normally read but for some reason it caught my eye in the supermarket, and I'm so glad it did. I absolutely loved it. Read more

a must read
This is a must read. Lokko has done a great job yet again. I love the relationships between the characters and the surprise twists and turns.
