Clean: The London Collection

Product Information

Already beginning to rattle as the effects of her last hit are long gone, Lexi descends into the hell of withdrawal and starts her recovery process. Todos têm uma adição diferente: uns estão relacionados com drogas, outros com comida, mas ela não consegue descobrir a adição de Brady. I’m not an expert in addiction however I am aware of how dangerous and destructive these are in the precarious road to recovery, and I would have liked to have seen the author tackle that head on. Knyga, kaip galima suprasti iš Melvin Burgess „Heroino“ paminėjimo ant viršelio, yra susijusi su narkotikų tema. It felt muddled and disjointed from the rest of the book and it would have worked better if we were left guessing about what happened to Lexi after her second bout of treatment.

Although I enjoyed the side characters in the novel and thought Juno had included a greatly diverse cast of characters, I did find that they got left behind a bit in comparison to Lexi. Auch wenn ich mir das Ganze doch noch etwas schonungsloser gewünscht hätte mit etwas mehr Realität, konnte mich das Buch absolut fesseln. 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 main character, Lexi, is a super rich, white and priviliged piece of trash when we first meet her. Guy, who suffers from OCD, and Brady, the mysterious Hollywood hunk who immediately catches Lexi's eye. It did take me a little while to get into the book as I can’t say I was overly fond of the main character, Lexi, to begin with.

In all honesty, I couldn't find a flaw with the book it was breathtaking and addictive and I would strongly recommend it. As descrições do processo são muito bem feitas; São muito reais, incluindo também as normais descaídas. In the 20 years since Melvin Burgess's Junk, surprisingly few YA novels have dared tackle addiction.

Then when I finished it I was left with a feeling both of complete satisfaction but also wanting to read about these characters lives more. However through it all, I knew that what I felt wasn’t even a touch of how someone going through detoxification in real life must feel. A blingy gold cover draws the eye to Juno Dawson's Clean, the foul-mouthed, in-yer-face account of Lexi, a super-rich party girl gone off the rails, and her effortful journey towards kicking her heroin habit. Lexi is an excellent protagonist, Juno has done something truly magical with her writing to make you want to care and root for the spoilt rich girl you meet at the start of the novel.

Door de afwisseling van heden en verleden wordt het verhaal goed opgebouwd, en krijg je stukje bij beetje meer te zien van Lexi. It really is a well written book, and a good message, I’m just not sure the writing style is for me and struggled to connect with the premise. Again it actually felt real, and I was pleased to see a book that doesn’t pretend that teenagers don’t swear.Dennoch erschien mir die Behandlung dieser Süchte und Lexis gesamter Aufenthalt in der Enzugsklink irgendwie zu harmlos? Neben Drogensucht, werden in der Enzugsklinik, in die Lexi zu Beginn unfreiwillig eingeliefert wird, auch andere Süchte behandelt wie zum Beispiel Esssucht, Magersucht, Sexsucht, Zwangsstörungen, etc. 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. I didn’t dislike her, I just couldn’t connect with her at all, I come from a very different viewpoint.

Besonders der ehrliche und direkte Schreibstil hat gerade diese ersten Tage unglaublich realistisch dargestellt. An emotional freight train of a novel' Heat 'As bold and gritty as it is fabulously glossy and readable' Observer. There are plenty of light moments to balance out all the dark and I loved the glamour and celebrity circles that Lexi moved in. She's super rich and completely spoilt and makes the most benefits her privileged lifestyle brings her.

That being said I did highly enjoy this book and would defiantly recommend to anyone looking for a fast paced novel that really packs a punch.
