CGiii Comment

This has been very well received.

Those who are into lesbian love stories, teenage angst and, girl power will probably like this...then there are those who will only see young girls being vile and demanding – no wonder so many boys go gay!

Okay, so it’s unlike anything that Hollywood would/will ever produce – which is a good thing but, GAWD, make some of the characters a little likeable – these are all precocious, grotesque creatures.

The(ir) Blurb...

Åmål is a small insignificant town where nothing ever happens, where the latest trends are out of date when they get there. Young Elin has a bit of a bad reputation when it comes to guys, but the fact is that she has never done "it". Another girl in her school, Agnes, is in love with her but is too shy to do anything about it. For a number of reasons, Elin ends up at Agnes' birthday party as the only guest. They have a girl's night out together but after that Elin desperately avoids Agnes, refusing to even consider her own feelings toward Agnes.
