This book is written by a woman from outer space. Not outer space as in the cosmos, but out of her space: from outside of the the common loop, not included in the swing of things generally out of the in crowd. The outsider is forced to develop a very different view of the world; when she writes, she will write from the perspective of the one girl wearing jeans to a traditional wedding, where everyone else is wearing.... well traditional.
