UEL English PEN Society Book Reviews

This is Audrey! Bit of background; she lives with a guy called Splicer (who steals her food) and babysits for extra money. She's also adorable.

Some of the girls play baseball (I think it's baseball, I'm pretty atrocious at any sport related knowledge), and the book opens with some of them practising (Audrey and Beth are a little bit cute). Trilby and Cleo are preparing to go to comic-con (mass nerd gathering, it's rad), Glen made their outfits. Not sure if I've mentioned Glen, he's kinda on the outskirts of the group. And his boyfriend's adorable.
Natalie and Mara are hanging out more; Mara learns about Natalie's sisters, who are conjoined twins (joined at the heads). Mara also agrees to go to comic-con with Trilby and Cleo, Myrtle can't go because she's working. Audrey loses one of the girls she's meant to be baby-sitting, but finds her...in bed with her house-mate, eiwww. Mara and Cleo kiss, which is kinda super-awkward but they both sort of like it.
And Cleo gets a job! Yaaaaaay! Her first day is kind of shitty, but hey, whose isn't? She and her colleague (Zia) almost get mugged on the way home, but a masked vigilante who refers to themself as "Unknown" shows up out of nowhere and knocks the guy out. Cleo then goes to surprise her sister, only to arrive just as Vincent (ex-vomit-inducing-boyfriend) leaves. Penny had no idea she dated him due to Cleo trying to keep it a major secret.
It's not baseball, it's softball. My bad.
The book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger orgy; Natalie gets her face slashed open by Myrtle (she doesn't know it's her), everyone's warming up for a softball game, and Martin's getting ready to meet Trilby's parents.

Trigger warnings; violence, drug-use, underage sex.

Until next time,
Emerald Elizabeth.
