Fun light read (even through the subject is pretty grim). I could have done without the (admittedly short) graphic sexual descriptions.

What a book! I found it by accident in a bookshop in Ireland and was interested in finding out more about why it was advertised as being like „Derry Girls“. I now totally get that point. First of all the setting: Northern Ireland in the middle of the nineties. A friend group on the brink of becoming adults, figuring out who they are and what life can look like for them in the future. A great and versatile read of which I didn’t know what to expect. But now, that I have finished it I am very happy with what I got.
