I enjoyed Dead to Me by Lesley Pearse which is set in London and Devon beginning in the 1930s when two young girls from very different backgrounds meet. Verity goes to a good school and from a wealthy family while Ruby lives in poverty with her prostitute mother. The girls become best friends as their lives change. The second World War has a huge impact on their lives and their friendship. Verity's father committed criminal acts and becomes a fugitive. This is a story about the strength of friendship despite what else is going on with their lives. There is romance for both the girls. The story was okay, though sometimes a bit "corny". Definitely a "girl" book. 31/2/5
