In Mad Girls in Love, by Michael Lee West, there is a cast of wonderful characters that are easy to fall in love with. Some are from her previous novel Crazy Girls and she brings some new characters into it as well.

Bitsy is the main girl in the group who knows everything about fashion, but is not too bright when it comes to her education and making smart decisions. The story line of this novel is based along with Bitsy’s life as an eighteen‑year‑old wife, and mother of her baby daughter.
The narrative follows them through two decades as they grow up and develop. A young teen becomes a mother and a daughter becomes a women. Bitsy flees the town of Crystal Falls with her baby after an incident between her and a loved one. This move causes her to lose custody of her daughter. This story gets a bit confusing with characters going in and out of the novel yet it still follows the evolution of Bitsy and her daughter. She grows up from being a young girl to twenty years later an interior decorator.

This novel is great for girls who enjoy reading about never-ending girl issues. There is a never‑ending female feud in this novel along with never-ending issues and drama.

I was introduced to your Blog as a member of "23 Things"-an amazing program for teachers, introducing us to the world of technology that is all to familiar and easy for our students. Your school blog is wonderful! I am an art teacher and was so pleased to see that the visual arts actually were represented in your blog. Not only that, but you introduced me to web sites I was unfamiliar with. As a high school teacher, I thought I was pretty savvy when it came to recognizing high quality high school work. You all have raised the bar! I am bookmarking this site! Thanks for the quality read!
