This is exactly the type of book young girls should be reading and I love that Holly Bourne always challenges particular notions that are problematic in our society and dissects it, by putting forth real-life situations that we're all familiar with and/or experienced and calling it out. How it is not realistic, giving women false sense of security or hope and calling out the misogynistic viewpoints that are ingrained in our society. The story was about challenging the notion of romantic-comedies or romantic movies in general. I'm changing my rating to a 5 stars simply because as soon as I woke up this morning, my first thoughts were of this book! I am in love! Please.i just want a cute ease reading gods let me have this happy fun workplace scenes!! which I am always a sucker for.īasically, this book is such a revolutionarily good contemporary I might have to come back and five star it.īottom line: ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! More please. and a romance that is secondary to the happily ever after, too
a romantic plotline that is secondary to the other aspects of our girl's life a group of female friends who might seem shallow but are anything but a female character who isn't nice to our female protagonist.without veering into girl hate and a bunch of satisfying scenes in which that heroine screams and/or gets hers a powerful, badass, damaged heroine who heals herself a screaming rant against the line "not like other girls" a takedown of the bit in The Fault in Our Stars when the characters' steamy makeout happens in the Anne Frank House That is NOT sexy.Holly Bourne, where have you been all my life?Ī short, by no means definitive list of just some of the literally innumerable awesome things this book contains:
I am too angry and messed up to contain all the stuff girls spend every day containing. I am emotionally-fucking-traumatised right now, okay? I am screaming on the inside. Don't misinterpret my hatred of romance as some kooky, laid-back, manic pixie NONSENSE. "No, you were saying something clichéd and UNTRUE. "What shit?!" Harry was stupid enough to ask. Don't you DARE try and pull that shit on me. It's an insult to every single woman on this PLANET. I threw my arms up, any motion to get rid of the rage pulsing through me. I jumped off the bed and turned to him with a scowl I was sure he'd need permanent therapy to recover from. Like an impulseĮvery single emotion I'd been squashing into my guts exploded like a burst appendix.
