I was utterly impressed with Am I Normal Yet? and as soon as I had finished it, I ordered How Hard Can Love Be? Holly Bourne has got the type of writing style where it’s chatty like you already know the characters before you read about them yet her way of describing characters, settings and emotions are mesmerising. Will he notice Amber? A girl who is a die-hard feminist and definitely not a captain of the cheerleading team? Fact: love is hard. Then there’s a guy: Kyle who all the girls want because of his ‘prom-king’ looks. Whilst on the way to California to work at a summer camp with her Mom and her Mom’s new husband, Amber’s hoping that spending a whole summer with her is going to change that that it’s going to change her and her Mom’s relationship for the better. She knows she has her two amazing best friends but her Mom moved to California, got remarried and doesn’t acknowledge Amber’s existence. How Hard Can Love Be? follows the story of Amber and how hard and painful – and amazing – love can actually be.Īmber just wants to be loved by anyone. Lottie, Evie, and Amber are three feminist friends who face down the tough issues of life with the help of their friendship and their feminist jokes about the patriarchal society. A really satisfying page turner.Įmotive and thought provoking this searingly honest book deals with the biggest life lesson of all – nobody’s perfect.I’m a massive fan of Holly Bourne’s writing every book that she has written, I have read, and every book that I have read, I have enjoyed.
Written with humour and warmth, Amber’s story perfectly captures the emotional rollercoaster that is love: embracing all its joy and pain, whether it be for family, friends or a gorgeous boy. It’s also refreshing to see feminism highlighted in such a positive and relevant way for teenagers. She writes with such humour and great honesty, with wonderfully relatable characters. I’m a big Holly Bourne fan and this is my favourite yet. The second instalment in her Normal series tells Amber’s story of first love, friendship and addiction. Holly Bourne is hugely popular with the young adult audience. More books in Young Adult Fictionīourne’s books stand out in the word of young adult fiction.
Can he really be interested in anti-cheerleader Amber? Even with best friends Evie and Lottie’s advice, there’s no escaping the fact: love is hard. But Amber’s hoping that spending the summer with her can change all that.Īnd then there’s prom king Kyle, the guy all the girls want. Her mum has never been the caring type, even before she moved to California, got remarried and had a personality transplant.
