This was amazing, It made me laugh and cry. I wanted to devour it and savour it.
All of these books and the short stories are written so beautifully and you can't help but fall in love with the characters.
Some of the one liners in this book had me laughing out loud.
'Can I lose my watch in you?'
So typical of Kinsley, poor young Nora had know idea what it meant at first and it never fails to make me laugh.
Only problem now is having to wait for the next one.

The title definitely doesn't lie -- these are some STRANGE little girls. Each story is so different from the last, and they all suck you in and don't let up until the end. There are even a couple I could see being turned into at least a novella on their own, as I would love to read more about that particular girl's story.
Really interesting read, and since it's a collection of short stories, you can read a little bit at a time and not forget where you are.
5 stars

Although it's just enough to wet your appetite, it's not enough to really get your teeth into but I would definitely recommend you read the full length stories and use this as an added extra.
