	Comment before you read:
	Comment after you read: Although this is probably the most intriguing premise for a book I have read in a long time, it fell a bit short of expectations. Four girls named Sarah are in a girl gang who go around causing trouble (usually through theft). Sarah A has all of the power in the group and Sarah T (the narrator) is feeling the pressure to keep her spot in the group. Unfortunately, in spite of the interesting setup, Sarah B and Sarah C are virtually indistinguishable, plots about family mental illness seem out of place, and the point where the book begins is far after the heyday of the Sarahs which would have been much more interesting. Cool cover though. I bet teens will like it.
