Which is why I was so happy Max comes into her life! Their friendship and more was just utter deliciousness and made me so happy!Ĭlem, darling Clem – I just wanted to hug her as soon as I met her in this book, so disheartened by her weight, her being so hung up on Stu (I have lots of not so flash feelings about that one), but also her toxic relationship with her twin sister, Iris! Now, Clem really, in my opinion, hadn’t done anything to Iris – but Iris was so horrible to Clem, it hurt to read about, as they were evidently once close but now all Iris seemingly has to say horribly negative things about her sister, but Clem, how she navigated her way through this story was just gorgeous, whether it was coping with fat shaming (which no one should have to go through!), to dealing with a change in swimming mindset. I love how the book was told from three different narrations- I loved them all equally! It’s funny, because of her popular demeanour, I initially didn’t like Ady, but I soon grew to love her as she started to realise every thing is not all it seems in her life- and I mean, the reader finds out that her family is slowly unravelling, not even due to lack of finances, but to her father’s health – I must admit, I found that in itself to be a surprise- and of course, it definitely made me feel bad for her! I mean not only did she have to come to terms with that, but her sister constantly only gives her half attention, and as the story goes further, I really got a sense of how alone she really feels in the world. No one really knows who is behind PSST, but let me say, when I found out- I was pretty surprised – it definitely wasn’t who I would expected that contributed to the website. Then there’s popular Adelaide, or Ady, feeling disconnected from her family and friends- her comfortable life falling apart before her own eyes.Īnd last but most certainly not least, Kate, torn between her music dreams and the career her parents have sacrificed lots for.Īll three girls are faced with the brunt of PSST (think Gossip Girl, well that’s what it instantly reminded me of – a website which relentlessly shames it’s targets, namely women and says absolutely loathsome and humiliating things about them – mostly inaccurate and often hurtful things too. There’s Clem, once a swimming sensation, but now not at all feeling the longing for the pool that she once had – whilst being tangled up with Stu, one who she can never quite forget. Take Three Girls focuses, and is told from the split points of view between our three main girls: This is honestly a book everyone needs to read! It’s so vital in terms of its messages and themes, and relatable in many a sense! It’s a book I wish I had read in high school, but am way too over the moon to have finally read it now! Nice try – but sometimes all it takes is three girls.
St Hilda’s antidote to the cyber-bullying? The Year 10 Wellness program. Kate – brainy boarder taking risks to pursue the music she loves.Ĭlem – disenchanted swim-star losing her heart to the wrong boy.Īll are targeted by PSST, a toxic website that deals in gossip and lies.
