Girlhood
Girlhood | Cat Clarke
3 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
Real, compulsive and intense: Cat Clarke is the queen of emotional suspense. For fans of Paula Hawkins, Gillian Flynn, Megan Abbott and Jandy Nelson. 'Emotive, creepy AND funny. A quality page-turner' SARAH CROSSAN 'A new Cat Clarke novel is always something to celebrate and Girlhood could be her best yet' JUNO DAWSON Harper has tried to forget the past and fit in at expensive boarding school Duncraggan Academy. Her new group of friends are tight; the kind of girls who Harper knows have her back. But Harper can't escape the guilt of her twin sister's Jenna's death, and her own part in it - and she knows noone else will ever really understand. But new girl Kirsty seems to get Harper in ways she never expected. She has lost a sister too. Harper finally feels secure. She finally feels...loved. As if she can grow beyond the person she was when Jenna died. Then Kirsty's behaviour becomes more erratic. Why is her life a perfect mirror of Harper's? And why is she so obsessed with Harper's lost sister? Soon, Harper's closeness with Kirsty begins to threaten her other relationships, and her own sense of identity. How can Harper get back to the person she wants to be, and to the girls who mean the most to her? A darkly compulsive story about love, death, and growing up under the shadow of grief.

Girlhood | Cat Clarke

This was an extremely quick read, I finished it in only two hours on my train ride. Girlhood deals with lots of difficulty and emotional topics in a fairly good well. I do think that this has some huge similarities to #BeautifulBrokenThings that I didn‘t like as much. A good ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stars!

The final book for my #cupidgoespostal is here which means I can start shipping on Tuesday!

Mehso-so

Cat Clarke's YA contemporary novel is a strong portrayal of female friendship and how intense it can get, I enjoyed the fact that sex, lesbianism and bisexuality is shown as no big deal and both Harper's guilt and the devastating effect of anorexia are handled sensitively but Kirsty's storyline didn't ring true (especially the denouement) and that served to turn what could have been a great book into a merely okay one.
