Description

Ich habe das Buch in weniger als zwei Tagen verschlungen, es kaum aus der Hand legen können; ich habe viel genickt und mir oft die Tränen aus den Augen geblinzelt.

Ich war nicht in der Stimmung und wollte es nicht riskieren, es vielleicht aus diesem Grund nicht zu mögen. Met z'n alle bij elkaar kampen we met meer problemen dan het openbaar vervoer in een gemiddelde werkweek, maar we zijn net een kring van spiegels die naar elkaar toestaan; we kunnen ons niet verbergen - niet voor elkaar en niet voor onszelf.

I initially thought of it more of a cross between Clueless and Rachel’s Holiday, but maybe I’m showing my age there. It's safe to say that she falls into the wrong crowd, and gets involved in drugs, eventually becoming a heroin addict. While this is a work of fiction, Dawson spent a lot of time talking to many people who had similar issues covered in the book.

One follows Lexi’s struggles, at first the physical withdrawal symptoms and then later the more mental ones. But Lexi is a heroin addict and soon finds herself in a treatment centre for well-off young adults with addiction problems. It felt like the author wanted to be diverse but was held back from going all the way to create more complex side-characters.

For me this was the real strength of the novel showing the reader an incredibly realistic account of how deeply such issues can affect those dealing with them. Some of the locations and discussions on London nightlife made me laugh, and Lexi’s early comment about a cup of tea was brilliant. So verurteilt sie ein Mädchen zum Beispiel dafür, dass sie zu dick ist, ist sich aber kurz darauf bewusst, wie falsch das doch war. I’m nearing 30, but I can see the appeal this novel has for younger readers, it addresses topics that are often viewed as taboo – sex, drugs, self-harm etc – and so this book is a great way to get young people talking about these very real issues.

In all honesty, I couldn't find a flaw with the book it was breathtaking and addictive and I would strongly recommend it. Dubbed as “Gossip Girl meets Girl Interrupted”, Clean is a biting and hard-hitting YA novel centring around Lexi, a spoiled hotel heiress with a serious drug problem, who is checked into a luxury island rehab facility by her brother after she overdoses on heroin. The book contains phone numbers and helplines for anyone struggling with similar issues mentioned in this book, which is important. She's going to be there for almost three months, so it's time to suck it up and start working her way through the ten-step program that they offer. Gerade, weil Lexi mit Ko-Abhängigkeit in Beziehungen kämpft und das auch großer Teil ihrer Therapie ist.As did some of the chosen metaphors (definitely using 'eyes glazed like a Krispy Kreme doughnut' from now on) and the Tic-Tac prank scene.

She later turned her talent to journalism, interviewing luminaries such as Steps and Atomic Kitten before writing a weekly serial in a Brighton newspaper. Juno Dawson hat mit Clean ein wirklich wichtiges Buch geschrieben, das auf die Süchte der heutigen Zeit aufmerksam macht. Und auch wenn mich das Buch nicht komplett überzeugen konnte, so empfinde ich die Botschaft, die es vermittelt unglaublich wichtig. A namiesto toho, aby investovali do seba - vzdelania, rozhľadu, - míňajú peniaze na alkohol, drogy, či choré vzťahy. Erst als Lexi entlassen und rückfällig wurde, war diese schonungslose Realität wieder da und auch wenn ich mich selbst dabei erwischt habe, ihr vorzuwerfen, wie sie, nach all dem was sie durchleben musste während des Entzugs, so dumm sein konnte, das Zeug noch mal zu nehmen und rückfällig zu werden.Further into the novel, her bratty, moneyed veneer fades away and it shows that she's quite a good person, deep down. 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. Po to per pamoką analizavome knygos ištraukas, aptardami priklausomybių, valgymo sutrikimų, savęs žalojimų, romantinių santykių bei šeimos temas. Lexi Voltov has everything a girl can dream of thanks to her dad being the owner of a luxury empire of hotels.
