Clean: The London Collection

Product Information

Some were more cliché than others, but a lot of them seemed genuine with both good and bad sides which gives them humanity. Juno Dawson however, creates real, fleshed out diverse characters that feel like they are someone you could know. Already beginning to rattle as the effects of her last hit are long gone, Lexi descends into the hell of withdrawal and starts her recovery process.

Door de cover hoopte ik een boek te lezen dat mij zou shockeren, mij zou verbazen en buiten de YA lijntjes zou kleuren. However, it wasn’t addictive in the most important way, the way where you want to keep reading because the story is so good. But, the black girl was a sassy overweight, American and the boy with OCD was a posh, white guy who went to Eton. Featuring a vibrant rainbow design, and our super-sized Q logo, you won't find a more stylish way to make a statement. A YA book that deals with some heavy issues-drugs, sex, relationships, family dynamics, weight, and gender issues.However through it all, I knew that what I felt wasn’t even a touch of how someone going through detoxification in real life must feel. So erfahren wir von dem trans Mädchen Kendall, die an Magersucht leidet; oder von Ruby, die esssüchtig ist.

Wat ik fijn vond is de afronding van het verhaal, geen "ze leefde nog lang en gelukkig", maar net even dat beetje meer. She's aggressive, verbally attacking anyone that crosses her path, dropping more c-bombs than you can count. Juno Dawson shows herself to be a judicious, bold storyteller with an instinctive feel for emotional authenticity - and Clean is her best novel yet. So many of the other patients who were getting help are equally loveable, and feel real and fleshed out.A namiesto toho, aby investovali do seba - vzdelania, rozhľadu, - míňajú peniaze na alkohol, drogy, či choré vzťahy. Yes, addiction is blind to class, but the ‘rich girl’ protagonist may be hard for some people to identify with. Außerdem liebe ich sie dafür, dass sie ihren Gegenüber kaum bis gar keine Vorurteile hegt und wenn doch, merkt sie es selbst.
