Take Three Girls by Simmone Howell, Fiona Wood, Cath Crowley
4.0
This book really surprised me. I really don't enjoy contemporary at the moment, and the sheer length of this book put me off it for months.
I LOVED it. I can't really give this five stars because this sort of subject matter doesn't really move me, but it's done so well in this book. It's also not really something I'll read again. That doesn't mean it isn't a great read.
It's got great female friendship. There's a great adult exploration of sex and boys. I hate when you read teen books and it's just so watered down it doesn't feel real. This is wholesome, but it still has swearing, it still has frequent mentions of sex (mostly in reference to characters thinking about it, because hello - teens think about sex! It's a lot of what teens think about!)
I also loved all the girls. I had the hardest time with Clem, but I enjoyed her perspective still and didn't find it a slog to get through by any means.
There was bisexual rep in this! I loved Ady more than I thought possible. She was my favourite character by a stretch. I was excited for her chapters for the entirety of the book.
This book is pretty long, but I think it's really worth it. You get to really connect with these girls and by the end you're really attached and rooting for them. The small mystery element of finding out who runs psst also was a great one. I was curious the whole book.
Well rounded, great story. Would reccomend
