Review: Well written but probably more appropriate for a younger audience

Firstly and as usual, I received this book free for the purposes of an honest review.  Also as usual I'll give my candid thoughts below.On the positive side, Varley's novella is well written, contains only a few typos (which is increasingly rare in eBooks) and reasonably entertaining.  Her grasp of character is strong and I could imagine the three young ladies in this book really existing somewhere in a not-too-absurd universe.  Also, the book isn't just about entertainment it does have a bit of a deeper point.  In the interest of avoiding spoilers I won't say what that point is but you'll find it if you read the book.To the negative, the story is surprisingly simple and I feel like I just read a YA (young adult) novel.  It's possible, of course, that it is targeted for a YA audience but it's not labeled as such so I have to assume that it's for adults.  As such it loses a star because it's just so very, very simple.In summary, this one is well written but a bit hollow for anyone over the age of 18.  The themes are rather childish and lacking in complexity but on the whole a well-written story.  This simplicity will be a positive for some and a negative for others.  I leave it to the reader to make that determination for themselves.
