London Belongs to Us
London Belongs to Us | Sarra Manning
12 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 23 to read
Seventeen-year-old Sunny's always been a little bit of a pushover. But when she's sent a picture of her boyfriend kissing another girl, she knows she's got to act. What follows is a mad, 12-hour dash around London starting at 8pm in Crystal Palace (so far away from civilization "you can't even get the Tube" "there") then sweeping through Camden, Shoreditch, Soho, Kensington, Notting Hill. . . and ending up at 8am in Alexandra Palace. Along the way Sunny meets a whole host of characters she never dreamed she'd have anything in common with least of all the devilishly handsome (and somewhat vain) French "twins" (they're really cousins) Jean Luc and Vic. But as this love-letter to London shows, a city is only a sum of its parts, and really it's the people living there who make up its life and soul. And, as Sunny discovers, "everyone" from friends, apparent-enemies, famous bands, and even rickshaw drivers is willing to help a girl on a mission to get her romantic retribution."

Happy New Year's Eve! Before welcoming 2017 I wanted to highlight my two favorite books of the year. London Belongs to Us is a wonderful teen contemporary that is deceptively simple. On the surface it's about a night-long adventure across London but along the way it highlights inherent racism still prevalent in the modern day city.

When you're just about to post your review and Litsy crashes and you no longer have the brain power to re-type the review. Wah, wah. 😳😱😖

Sum: Teens living life, battling racism and sexism and homophobia along the way. Timely! #recommendsday

BookishFeminist This sounds good for my #overthis list. Thanks for this timely rec! 7y

"...first of all sexual identity is a fluid concept and not a fixed point on a graph, and secondly, it's none of your bloody business."

Chachic What a great quote! 💖 7y
MarriedtoMrT @Chachic There are so many good quotes. I'm going to post more but I'm trying to narrow them down! 7y

This book might just be the best bookish thing that has happened to me in the last few months. I am IN LOVE. Part my mood, part Sarra Manning and her writing. I'm in the home stretch and looking forward to the end of my work day when I can savor the last few pages. 😻❤️❣️

maximoffs Sold! 7y

MarriedtoMrT @Chachic It ticks all my boxes. I love all-night hunts about town and it has a great cast and great pacing. 7y
Chachic I definitely look it up to check the Kindle price.😊 7y

Wonderful book, London is the main character for me. One girl, two Frenchman and a broom! Sweet, entertaining, giggle inducing read. Just what this soul needed

*4.5 stars*

Completely and utterly loved it. Not just a love letter to London, but to friends and people and embracing yourself. Plus, there were cameos from Jeane from Adorkable and Molly from Guitar Girl - I love it when authors do that!
