The language is questionable. The 2021 character uses a lot of terms that will probably be outdated by next year. The older character uses lots of words and phrases that also seem far too modern for her. Overall, one will be incomprehensible soon and the other will keep being anachronistic. It also reads a little bit like a creative writing class assignment; something you have to do and want to show off with but don't really care about. A relatable story about teenage girls growing up. Fancying boys, family strains and changing friendships; despite changing fashions and new technology, the perils of growing older stay fairly unaltered.

Helena is a funny and feisty character, yet naïve when it comes to to relationships with boys and issues of consent.

She is facing a summer alone after her friends go on holiday without her. As a treat she is allowed to redecorate her bedroom, and decides to write a message beneath her new purple wallpaper.
