I found the whole thing very interesting.
It was hard NOT to relate to the girls. My parents were so completely controlling. I never dated until I was 18. I was interrogated whenever I left to go anywhere. I had to wear clothes like those girls wore to the dance. In fact I wouldn't have been allowed to go to a dance. I wasn't even allowed to listen to anything but classical and that protestant dirge music they described in the book. The descriptions of the world those girls lived in was so close in many ways to mine until I moved out at 24 that I found it hard not to absolutely LOATH their parents and the mother in particular.
I just found so much to relate to. As I read the book the restropectiveness that I had made me very melancholy. It did help me evaluate some of my responses to the prison I lived in. I think I know better now why I chose a boyfriend the first time who was abusive. The personality was much like I was used to. I'm glad I broke that pattern.
