I wasn't sure what this book would be about based on the title; what is this house at 17 Swann Street and why do only girls live there? I thought perhaps the address mentioned contains a block of student apartments, or a brothel? But 17 Swann Street is not a house; it's a treatment center, and the patients there are all suffering from eating disorders. So... that's why they are all girls....
This book contains a sometimes-too-realistic portrait of what it's like to have anorexia, and how hard it is to recover.
