Le Pitch

Présentation de l'éditeur The groundbreaking and bestselling first Spinster Club novel from YA star Holly Bourne - "A brutal and brilliant takedown of how we talk about mental illness, feminism, and friendship." The Guardian All Evie wants is to be normal. And now that she's almost off her meds and at a new college where no one knows her as the-girl-who-went-nuts, there's only one thing left to tick off her list... But relationships can mess with anyone's head - something Evie's new friends Amber and Lottie know only too well. The trouble is, if Evie won't tell them her secrets, how can they stop her making a huge mistake? Revue de presse A very funny and poignant look at OCD, secrets, feminism and friendship. -- The Telegraph A brutal and brilliant takedown of how we talk about mental illness, feminism, and friendship. If you've ever felt out of the ordinary, this is for you (ie everyone). It manages to be enjoyable without being flippant, incisive without being preachy. My first thought having finished it was 'I wish I'd read this when I was a teenager', but in all truth I think it's just as valuable to have read it now. --The Guardian An involving look at feminism, friendship and the secrets we hide even from those who know us best. -- The Observer If I could, I'd make this book obligatory reading for everyone. It's that good. That perfect. That holy frick I haven't read anything this powerful in a long while . -- Beth Reekles, YA author (The Kissing Booth) This is not a novel about a condition: Evie's condition is that of being a contemporary young woman, and through her guerrilla feminist group with new soulmates Lottie and Amber (who will each get a novel to themselves shortly) she learns new pathways through life that all her peers can follow. -- The Observer A deeply compassionate, sensitive & funny examination of OCD, recovery & relapse. -- The Guardian Takes a hard look at young people's experiences with mental health. --Buzzfeed This book is a stigma buster and I love it for that. -- Guardian reader review This book is really important for two reasons. 1. The insight it gives the reader into the mind of someone suffering from OCD. 2. The constant references to and exploration of feminist ideas and theories.Besides the fact that it's important and deals with serious issues, it's well written with fully realised characters you really care about. I wish I had read this book when I was 15. Highly recommended. --Louise O'Neil Holly Bourne is becoming something of a writing sensation in the world of Young Adult fiction... Using humour, high emotion, compassion, sensitivity and some hard-hitting drama, Bourne creates a beautiful, resonant story that tackles serious issues with the lightest and sometimes darkest of touches, giving real and moving insights into what it means to be young, confused and isolated. --Lancashire Evening Post Topical, thought-provoking, honest, current, relevant, kind of quirky... [the quiz writers] wished she'd been writing when they were growing up. --Quiz Writers' Choice Award Judges An epic and unique release this summer that I plead you all to pick up! This novel has a distinct British feel with moments mixed with laughter, tainted with tears and bound with love. Holly Bourne has created a beautiful tale. -- Paper Trail YA A word that perfectly encompasses this book is 'thought-provoking' - by challenging stigma and addressing topics that are sometimes avoided and brushed under the carpet, it really makes you think. We need more books like this! -- Snazzy Reads blog Am I Normal Yet? is such a important novel that I urge everyone to read it, regardless of age or gender. Everyone will be able to take something away from this novel, whether it's a greater understanding about mental health, a comfort that you re not alone, or even just the knowledge that if someone looks OK on the outside, it doesn t always mean they re OK on the inside. -- Blabbering about Boo Afficher moinsAfficher plus
