It's me I'm back again. Told you lot to expect more reviews from me. I'm guessing you were not expecting another one this fast. Well when I get into a really good book it can take me a matter of days to finish it. Well three days to be exact. But that was also down to the fact that we have been receiving some glorious weather which can put me into one of the best moods ever. Therefore I read faster as I'm in the best mood ever. Which results in you lot the readers, getting more reviews. I know I'm saying this every time but no one is helping me that much. Please could you readers give me some sort of feedback in the comment section below. It doesn't have to be really long, it can be a couple of sentences just about the blog. For an example I don't know whether my over seas readers can read my blog posts in their preferred language, tell me if it all makes sense. I would really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy reading this blog post just as much as I enjoyed reading this book my opinion about the book will come towards the end of this blog post. So this review, if you haven't already read the title it's all about Girlhood and it was written by Cat Clarke.
Like all my other blog posts, it's a moment of thanks. Welcome to any new readers to these blog posts. Thank you for choosing to read my blog posts, after reading this one if you wish to read some of my other blog posts. You can find them at laurennpullennreviews.blogspot.co.uk To all the other readers who keep coming back to every new review I write. Thank you for your support, I really do appreciate it, it really means a lot to me.
The next part of this blog post is all about the blurb on the book. When I tell most people about the blurb, they stop me speaking and ask me what exactly is the blurb. So I will define it in another way for you. The blurb is a small passage that describes the book really well. You can find the blurb at the back cover or if your reading a hat covered book it can normally be found on the inside of the front cover. Now here comes the reason why I put the blurb into my blog posts. Like I said earlier the blurb describe it perfectly. Therefore you lot, the readers can make your judgement about the book here and now. Otherwise you would have to go out and find the book and then read it that's if you don't have Internet access. I can save you from all of that right here. It's how most people get addicted to many books is by reading the blurb. With this book there isn't much of a blurb on the book itself. So what I'm going to do is put the one from the book and one from the Internet into this blog post. So here we go this is the blurb from the book:
" I lost myself when my sister died, and these girls rebuilt me, piece by piece. I thought that nothing could ever come between us. I thought I knew who I was... Until the new girl showed up."
If you wanted more information this is the one from the Internet:
" 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 twins sister's Jenna's death, and her own part in it - and she knows no one 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 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 mea the most to her?
Readers, if you prefer to look at a picture instead there will be a picture of the blurb at the end of this paragraph. Also remember if you have already finished this book please don't give any spoilers to those who haven't yet.
The next part of my blog post is all about the author of each book I review. I like to put something about each author into my reviews because it makes me feel good and at least I have something dedicated to them. Next time you read a book just think about the author who has spent many hours locked away in an office or shutting off from their families or pets. Just think about the endless amount of emails, phone calls and meetings with their management teams/publishers. But in the end of it, it will be all worth it as they have something to be proud of and it is something they can show off to everybody for many years to come. Just think about it if authors decided hey didn't want to spend all that time away that would result in no books being made which won't make us bookworms around the world not very happy. So without further delay here I am introducing to you Cat Clarke. Cat Clarke is the bestselling award - winning and highly acclaimed author of six YA novels. Cat Clarke was born in Zambia and brought up in Edinburgh and Yorkshire, which has given her an accent that tends to confuse people. She lives in Edinburgh with her partner, two ninja cats and two decidedly non-ninja cocker spaniels. Right into my next bit.
Now the time has come to deliver my verdict as some people might call it. Others might call it the opinion part of my blog post. So where do I start... I shall start at the beginning it's a very good place to start. I shall stop there with the sound of music quotes. HA! Anyway I love all of Cat Clarkes previous books I have read pretty much all of them. So I have had this date for release of this book in my diary for a long time. I was so excited when it finally got released I couldn't wait to get my hands on it especially as I know what her other books are like. From the moment I picked up this book I was gripped. I couldn't put the book down, I completely blocked out my family for the last three days and the weather also helped as I was able to sit outside and relax in the sunshine and enjoy a really good book. This book was jammed packed with many things I was not expecting, like the many twists. Don't worry I won't give it away for you, you will have to read it for yourself to find out about them. I loved everything about this book so I don't have any bad things to say about this book. I also loved the way she wrote about the characters, it's good to have a bit of diversity in books as there's not a lot of that about. It was amazing storyline. But once I got to the end I was sad to see that it was over. I wanted it to be twice as long than it really was. This book even made me laugh out loud and even shed a tear all based on their friendship. I hope there is another book to follow on from this one following the group of girls. Cat Clarke bring on the next book I can't wait to see what you write in the future and I can't wait to read it *high five* Cat it was truly a awesome book!!
I would like to give this book a solid 10/10. I'm going to recommend this book to anyone who is a teen fiction lover and is over the age of 16. If you wish to read any of my other blog posts you can find them at laurennpullennreviews.blogspot.co.uk where you can follow me, leave me your comments or leave your recommendations for me for the future.

Until my next book review x
