This book tells of five girls all starting their second year at uni. They decide to compile a 'list' of conquests and each time they score they put money in a tin and winner takes all. Believe me, that is the 'polite' way of describing it!

This book wasn't really for me. I took it on holiday but found it difficult to relate to, partly because I'm way older than the 'Let's do this before we're 21' brigade. There's a lot of swearing in this, again maybe this is a generation thing but this wore thin after a while and I felt it unnecessary. I felt that the author could've concentrated maybe on less than the five characters. It was difficult to sort out who was who as they were introduced very quickly at the start and perhaps if there'd have been three or four we would've felt as if we 'knew' them better instead of five characters we only got to know snippets of.

The book touches on love, friendships, relationships with family and problems surrounding them and it deals with issues that are current. I didn't really enjoy the book personally which is a shame but I feel probably younger people will identify better with the characters. I have read this author before (Jessie Hearts NYC) and really enjoyed it so I was a bit disappointed with this one.
