Apparently, this is a children’s book? Well, Young Adult, which these days means shooting up, shitting the bed and calling everyone the c-word apparently. Oh, I sound very old writing that. I, of course, would have bloody loved this book when I was a teen and I still enjoyed it now. I’ve been wanting to read some of Dawson’s other novels for a while now so I jumped at the opportunity to download this one when it arrived on Netgalley. It’s actually quite impressive how Dawson manages to write about the vapid and insanely privileged world of millennial rich kids while also making us like the protagonist. I mean, I don’t really sympathise with her (it’s kinda hard to) but I do enjoy hanging out with her for 400-or-so pages. For a novel about addiction, it’s not too judgey and has a pretty interesting message about our modern lives. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Knyga skirta paaugliams, bet drąsiai galiu sakyti, kad reikėtų perskaityti ir vyresniems.
Ji skaudi, bet tikra. Visa tai vyksta iš tikrųjų. Jaunų žmonių priklausomybės (narkotikai, alkoholis, maistas, seksas ir t.t.), ir jie visi mąsto taip pat "na jau man tai tikrai neatsitiks nieko blogo", duok dieve, kad taip ir būtų, bet dažnu atveju būna blogai. Drįsčiau teigti, kad knygoje gal net per gražiai dar viskas pasibaigia visiems.

2 hours 33 minutes - I thought this was a really good depiction of addiction and mental health issues. I've read books previously where the character's have these deeply traumatic backstories which lead to these issues, which is of course, something that can happen. However, this seemed like a much more nuanced take - sometimes, these problems can just develop, by themself or as a result of 'little T traumas' that one might not even recognise. Lexi is a rich socialite - on paper, her life is perfect. Which is why its so much more interesting to explore her psyche, to see how smaller issues can still twist and develop into serious problems, like the addiction explored in this book.
I wasn't totally sold on the romance - it felt very love at first sight, which isn't something I enjoy, but I recognise that in a YA book, it is fairly par for the course. However, I did enjoy the exploration of Lexi's previous toxic relationship. The ending also felt a little rushed, but the chapter structure, especially at the end, was incredibly poignant and well done, in my opinion.

Dear Juno Dawson, I'm a fan.
I loved Meat Market and now I'm a fan of Clean, too. This book is bold, unapologetic, gripping and I. Just. really really enjoyed it. Please be aware of the content warnings before heading into this book: it's a tough read, but so worth it. I can't wait to read everything by Juno Dawson now.
Full review coming soon!
