There are not many books that I've read about military brats so this was different. It was nice to see her knowledge of everthing in Europe but she wasn't snobish about it.
In the beginning I just felt so bad for Arden. I'd hate to be stuck in Paris and not have any fun. However things do get better as things progress. The three girls she meets on the plane and decides to join have very distinct personalities. Each one brings something to the story.
The military life has seemed to take a great toll on Arden. It effects her more then most military brats I've seen. That isn't to say that some people are not affected at all, just not as much MOST of the time. I can understand though because her mother is the only person she has left. If she were to lose her than she would be all alone and then what would happen to her.
Some parts of Arden's observations of military life I though were right on the money. Others I thought were a bit exaggerated but not by much. It's a good read.
