Alison Greaves appears to be a confident and experienced writer, and so when I read her statement about the release of the book I thought that I would buy it and do as she asked; make up my own mind.  I don't like books with gratuitous anything, be it violence, sex or bad language.  This book has none of the aforementioned problems, it does however have gratuitous sociology that goes on for pages and pages and pages (five pages alone for the birth control pill).  If one wishes to write social policy one should become a politician. I also was astonished to realize that this story was released in 2012.  Being as generous as possible I could only describe the "I am woman hear me roar" basis for the story as "quaint".  Were this story set in the 1960's it would be more credible.  I don't wish to speak for the young women of Cumbria, but I am not sure that any 18 to 20 year old girl would recognize themselves in any of these students.Ms Greaves said that she had become the target of negative reviews.  She was not a target for me.  Anyone who has read any of my other reviews will know that I have the greatest respect for anyone who has completed a book no matter the subject.  But this book could have done with a little more editing, not for the grammar or punctuation but, for the content.
