Some Girls Do by Teresa McWhirter, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In prose that's as sharp as broken glass and shot through with poetry, Teresa McWhirter unlocks the extraordinary subculture of urban adults in their twenties and early thirties. Most startling of all are the portraits of young women - tough, independent party girls who are strong enough to say "no" to love and smart enough to know why. Praise for Some Girls Do:"Some Girls Do is a sharp, poetic glimpse into the yearning but hopelessly unfocused lives of a group of marginal urbanites... surprisingly, McWhirter makes them touching rather than alienating." (Elle Canada)"McWhirter unearths a community of adult-kids seldom chronicled ... Realistic dialogue - heavily peppered with slang, swearing and esoteric pop-culture references - contributes to the novel's overall believability. The humour and wordplay alone mark McWhirter as a writer to watch." (Quill and Quire)"In tone and subject matter, McWhirter is revisiting the highly marketable terrain of Armistead Maupin and Candace Bushnell, the literature of urban subculture."
