2019
Tulip is obsessed with make-up. She is a competent well-followed vlogger. As in many texts for this age group she has dysfunctional parents. She adores her younger brother and sister yet they also irritate her at times. She has her supportive girlfriends and there is the usual love-interest.
This text, however, rises above the normal real-life story
for this reader. Tulip is challenged to appear on a TV survival show. She seems
to be the least likely to succeed in the whole group. There
are other challenges in the rest of her life and she meets them all head on.
Anna Mainwaring has created rounded believable characters about
whom we care.
Tulip finds solutions to all the problems she faces. She dispels the myth that her generation are
snowflakes.
OIlivia Levez describes it as “A Pride and Prejudice of Our Times’. Maybe. There is so much more to it than that, though.
The book offers a solid read. It is some 292 pages long. The chapters are reasonably
short.
