About this listen

Llewella has straight-A grades, a lead in the school play, a prefect badge, a successful blog, and a comfortable life. Despite this, she feels like a brown, chubby square peg at a school full of thin, white girls. She's never had a best friend. Could the new student at sixth form—glamorous, streetwise Aretha—be the one?

Llewella and Aretha get tight, quick. Before long, Llewella is following a diet Aretha has designed for her and has abandoned her own passions to dive headfirst into Aretha's world. She’s determined to be the most loyal, greatest friend she can be, even when Aretha says and does things which make her feel the opposite of great. Even when the anxiety disorder she thought was cured starts to reemerge. Isn't that how friendships work?

Brilliantly written, gripping, immersive and frankly important. Natasha has distilled her wisdom and awesomeness into this book, and gives us what I can only hope is the first of many great works of fiction from her. If this doesn’t become required reading for high school then something has gone very wrong.

So good, required reading imho

Well written great characters, even if at times tough read for a Mum of a 6th former. Toxic friendships way more common than we acknowledge & very difficult to navigate when a teen. A like that you didn’t shy away from important topic of mental illness. In parts my heart ached.

A must of all teens
