(3) YA Vivien, Shirin, and Ingrid form unlikely and complicated friendships when they meet at an exclusive Swiss boarding school in 1971. Over three summers, García tracks each girl's transition from innocence to independence as the mature-acting characters face an abundance of coming-of-age issues: dating, sexuality, family drama, etc. The young women come alive through crisp dialogue and vivid details.
