I got this book in a recent trip to Goodwill. I really liked the cover (the author has notes about the cover in the back of the book). The book was about Sarah Walters who was born into southern society as a Camellia debutante. She hated everything about it... having to fit-in, she was never good enough at it. Still she tried her best to make her mother happy and follow the rules of the society. She was a Southern girl after all; that is until she decided to move North.
Sarah moved to NY to break-free from her Southern life. She rented an apartment with one of her Camellia sisters, met a guy, and thought that things couldn't be better; unfortunately the story doesn't end there. Sarah learns the value of "Once a Camellia, always a Camellia" as her world and the worlds of her Camellia sisters, shatter multiple times.
This book was a good quick read.I enjoyed reading about Southern society and I found myself wanting to be one of the Camellia girls.
