Other than that, its a fairly entertaining read. I mean if you like reading about prissy bitches who never put out. It did get a bit interesting when they shared a small apartment with 8 other girls who weren't quite as prissy. Those girls knew how to party, walking around the place drunk and naked. Good times.
