Remember those old 1950's era science fiction movies that were so fun to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon with? You sort of knew that there would be strange things to see, but you never quite knew just what it would be.  This is the equivalent in book form: a perfect rainy Saturday afternoon diversion, for adults.  Galaxy Girls was incredibly detailed - the world built was tangible and well defined, and the issues that the world faced were realistic and easy to find similarities in the world we know now.With a nod to The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood - the idea of women holding little to no value but for reproductive purposes is not a new one, nor is gender inequality, communication issues or even running to what you hope is a better situation. But, the author has managed to weave varying point of view and voices together to create a picture that slowly gains color and detail as you turn the pages.  There are rather unique approaches to dealing with the issues faced, as well as the peculiar tendency of the "girls" to overwhelm men with pheromones when they ovulate.When you mix all the pieces together, blend with the humor and sharply detailed writing, the author has created a book that is a fun read, with the potential of 3 more stories to give each of the "girls" her moment in the spotlight.I received an eBook copy from author for purpose of honest review for Jeep Diva.  I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
