I recommend highly' Marian KeyesHere's what Lauren knows: she's not like other girls. And obviously said musical is directed by Lauren's arch nemesis. Under it all though, Lauren's heart is bruised. so when Lauren realises she's facing every teenage girl's worst nightmare, she has nowhere to turn.
Nemyslite si, že som strážny anjel. Nemám krídla, neznie tu nebeská hudba ani nesedím na mäkkom obláčiku. Sme tu len my dve so šéfkou (nie je to božská bytosť, to fakt nie). Ide o úlohu. Moju prvú. A dúfam, že bude jediná. Istej duši treba pomôcť. Volá sa Julia. Šéfka hovorí, že to nerobím pre ňu. Mám Julii pomáhať, aby som pomohla sebe. Nie, nemám také dobré srdce. Moje srdce... no, už sú to tri týždne, odkedy prestalo biť.
Kim’s not the sort of girl who stresses out – usually. But with her sixteenth birthday party coming up, she’s suddenly in panic mode. What if no one turns up? What if friends from different groups don’t get along? What if her overly-anxious stepfather – convinced that teenage parties lead to alcoholism and orgies – ruins everything?It’s not as though there’s anything else on her mind. Definitely not anything to do with her boyfriend, Eddie, who’s absolutely perfect for her – an actual knight in shining armour (he even takes fencing lessons). And most definitely not anything to do with her brother’s best mate Michael, who knows her too well to ever look at her as more than just a friend . . . right?Originally published by Poolbeg Press in 2007, That Girl is now available in a digital edition for the first time.
