She shines like a star!

An extract from “The English Roses“, by Madonna:

You see, the English Roses wanted to be friendly, and they knew that Binah was lonely. But they could not bring themselves to be nice to her, because everywhere they went this is what they heard:

“What a beauty she is!”
“She shines like a star!”
“That Binah is something else!”
When Nicole and Amy and Charlotte and Grace heard people speak this way about Binah, they always felt like they were going to be sick. This is what they would have to say:
“How could anyone be so perfect?”
“No one ever says that about us!”
“It’s not fair to have so much!”
“Let’s pretend we don’t see her when she walks by.”
“Let’s push her in the lake!”
And that is what they did.
