I received this from Library Thing to read and review.  This is the story of two girls who arrive in London in the 1980's.  Laura is an over-the-top David Bowie fan.  She goes so far as to fantasize a relationship with him. The other, Sam, is working through some problems herself, and really doesn't know quite how to deal with this or how to help her friend Laura. The story is told by Sam, who, after a return to London, in retrospect, asks herself whether was something she could have done to help Laura. The descriptions of the city were quite good and interesting.  I have not been to London, but many of them have made me look at this locale as my next big destination. The story delves into the meaning of friendship, emotional/mental health issues and self-identity. I found the way the author dealt with these issues quite good and realistic. This is a book for a reader looking for something deeper, with more intensity than the average chick lit novel.
