Clean: The London Collection

Product Information

Throughout the book, you begin to understand how she ended up addicted to drugs and you feel her struggles as if they are happening to you. The story circles back in on itself as you read in the most wonderful ways, and I loved the choppy narrative and the slow reveal of past events. Clean is dirty privilege and a messed up cast, an ugly story brought to life with beautiful writing. The story revolves around Lexi, a Russian born hotel heiress and her time in treatment facility for addition. Und auch wenn es mir teilweise zu viel Einhörner und Zuckerwatte, zu viele rosa Wolken, war, bin ich dennoch der Meinung, dass dies ein Buch ist, dass man insbesondere Jugendlichen empfehlen sollte.

Juno’s titles have received rave reviews and have been translated into more than ten languages around the world.

She's super rich and completely spoilt and makes the most benefits her privileged lifestyle brings her.

It hits so many hard topics right at the core, but works through them, exploring the good and the bad. She is astutely aware of the fact that she lives a privileged life and the benefits that come from having to never worry about money, even down the luxurious rehab that she had access to, and this is written in such a way that it feels honest in her awareness and her limited ability to fully comprehend this. Todos têm uma adição diferente: uns estão relacionados com drogas, outros com comida, mas ela não consegue descobrir a adição de Brady. Granted, I read this novel in one-sitting, but that was due to the fact that I read it as part of a readathon; I didn’t abandon it part way through so that shows it can hold your attention to the end, however, it won’t wow you in any way.The rest of the characters are also brilliantly layered and complex: Kendall, a trans girl who is anorexic; Ruby, who overeats; Brady, a sex addict; Guy, who has OCD; and Sasha, the most difficult character of the lot.

I initially thought of it more of a cross between Clueless and Rachel’s Holiday, but maybe I’m showing my age there. Aber danach … sobald dieser kalte Entzug vorbei ist, scheint es so, als seien all diese Jugendlichen “geheilt”.En ook al doet de auteur zeker moeite om een heftig verhaal neer te zetten, dan nog is het het allemaal net niet, en wordt het uiteindelijk meer een liefdesverhaal. Die ersten Tage des kalten Entzugs sind großartig dargestellt und hier trifft es schonungslos eigentlich ziemlich perfekt.
