"Life is both fleeting and dangerous, and there is no point in denying yourself pleasure, or being anything other than what you are."

Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love.
