Hilarious book about a small town cheer-leader who does to the big city to be a "career girl" despite the threat of communists and white slavers. She falls in with a group of very nice girls who are extremely affectionate and...well you can guess what happens. There was surprisingly little explicit sex so just as well I wasn't reading for that. There was also more plot than I expected- granted it was very silly plot but in a fun way. The communist gets her come-uppance and gets sent off to the loony bin. The plain girl is suddenly a lot sexier after a hair-cut and there is a lot of "practice kissing" in this tongue-in-cheek (but whose cheek?) book.
