Lotties Story
Bewertet mit 4 Sternen
This time, we get so see the world from Lotties perspective and it has quite a disturbing start. Be ready for sexual harassment in this book and a young female who makes it her project, to address any sexism she faces for a whole month. A very hard project as it turns out and we see Lottie struggeling quite a lot as things get out of control more and more.
I have to say that Lotties story was really intense and so important. It depicts how girls and women are being shamed for speaking up. Throughout the book, Lottie faces being ridiculed by people all around her. Of course she has a lot of support too, especially from Evie and Amber. Lotties project sparks interest in the local and even the national media. The more known her project gets, the more Lottie struggles with the consequences of being an outspoken person, especially as a female.
This was a very intense read as we get to face a mixture of sexual harassment, cyber bullying, schoolar expectations and mental health issues. We also get friendship, love, support and wisdom and see Lottie grow and learn.
Like the second book I give this one four stars. Again because of the additional romance, that is nice, but not necessary - in my opinion. As with Amber I am, of course, happy for Lottie. I am just not keen on the idea, that you need romance to conquer every harship in your life. Romance is a nice addition. I do give it to Holly Bourne, that she makes the love interest of Lottie an interesting and opinionated guy, who can challenge our very intelligent protagonist to good and funny discussions. And now that I am writing this, I ask myself, why none of the girls has a girlfriend...
Anyhow, this book is also a very good read and like the other two it is very easy to read. Lottie sure uses some 'complicated' words, but Amber and Evie get her to translate her monologues to english.
