Rating:  Summary: Wonderful and insightful tour de force! Review: I thought this book was wonderful. Leslie is a talented author that has a rare and insightful literary offering in this book. Life as a Girl is a beautiful revelation.After a terrible back seat encounter with a high school senior, Leslie is sent to boarding school. Her parents are under the mistaken impression that Leslie's life will run smoothly at an all girls' facility. However, Leslie's experience in boarding school is anything but smooth. Her sexual identity develops in enormous proportions as she tries to come to terms with certain areas of her life. The aforementioned changes aren't easy to overcome in the nineteen-fifties, and Leslie's struggles with her sexual identity have just begun. As mentioned earlier, Life as a Girl is a wonderful and insightful tour de force. Even though I don't share some of the author's thoughts on female sexuality, her takes on the aforementioned subject are thought provoking and - in a disarming manner - logical. I look forward to reading the second part of this five book series.
Rating:  Summary: Hot girl book Review: Leslie rocks. I grew up in the fifties, but never found a woman like her. Les uses sex as a metaphor, however unaccustomed, for the time and place. She recreates the comic horror of growing up and becoming sexually aware at a boarding school. I liked the honesty and edge of the book and look forward to visiting Les in college in some later work. /s/ Jose

Rating:  Summary: My Life as a Girl, Book One Review: Wow, Les, were you ahead of your time or what?! As a member of your generation, I never would have dared to embark on your sexual journey of self discovery -- but sure would have liked to. Your lack of inhibitions and thorough descriptions of each and every encounter are liberating, if only to my prurient imagination. Thank you for allowing me to live out my fantasy life through you and your friends. Les doesn't let an opportunity pass her by. She grabs on to the moment and goes with it. The only thing I missed out on is what was she feeling? I look forward to knowing Les better in Book Two.
