About the book.
"Are you brimming with ambition? Is your social life incredibly rich? Responsibilities do not scare you and adulthood is an exciting challenge for you? Then this book is not for you! »
That is the description on the back cover. It's all said. The author invites us to enter her world, the world of this new generation that seeks itself, loses itself, where the word adult gives buttons.
A heroine with a grip.
Her character is a young girl with short and tousled hair, she is dressed most often in a red and white sailor too big for her, and is always accompanied by a white rabbit and occasionally a black kitten too cute. All that is more normal, it lets each of us, identify with it.
Thanks to her, we enter the backstage of the private life of a young adult.
A stroke of the pen.
A pencil stroke that is nothing extraordinary, but sometimes simplicity is much more effective. Sarah Anderson's drawings are not rich in details, the essential is present for a quick and effective reading.
The transcription of ailments.
Yes yes, in this book we will find everyone at least one board in which we can identify. No need to lie.
Never wanted to stay under the duvet? To make a murder after the failure of your manicure? Do you prefer books to the outside world?
Even if the jokes are a little silly sometimes, you will still laugh.
Whether it's conflicts with your menstruation, jealousy, embarrassment, small daily problems, clothes too big, too small, too indented, your alienation from social networks, the incomparable pleasures of pajamas, days under the duvet on a rainy day ………. EVERYTHING IS THERE.
But where are the hommmms?
Yes, ok, it's definitely a book written by a woman and for women. But men will recover, there are so many sweet jewels in the library.
So if you too, you want to have a good time in the subway, on the bus, on a bike (uh no), in your cozy bed, you know what you have to do.
