By about halfway through the book I really liked her and was totally rooting for her and believe it or not the author actually managed to make me feel sorry for the poor little rich girl.

When Lexi is over the worst of her withdrawal she is allowed out of her room and gets to meet the rest of the residents. When Lexi overdoses and her brother Nikolai takes her to an exclusive rehab facility, The Clarity Centre, she's in for a shock. Colourful yet troubled, the reader gets to meet the myriad of multi-layered characters that bring another dimension to the story and prove pivotal in Lexi’s recovery.The novel had great representation throughout including own voices rep through Kendall, a trans woman. Door de afwisseling van heden en verleden wordt het verhaal goed opgebouwd, en krijg je stukje bij beetje meer te zien van Lexi. It felt muddled and disjointed from the rest of the book and it would have worked better if we were left guessing about what happened to Lexi after her second bout of treatment. A blingy gold cover draws the eye to Juno Dawson's Clean, the foul-mouthed, in-yer-face account of Lexi, a super-rich party girl gone off the rails, and her effortful journey towards kicking her heroin habit.

It was almost impossible to put the book down and when I did I was constantly thinking about when I could read it again. Apesar de não ter nada em comum com a protagonista, criei uma grande relação com ela, senti que a compreendia, que estava do lado dela e estive sempre a torcer para que ela melhorasse.

I initially thought of it more of a cross between Clueless and Rachel’s Holiday, but maybe I’m showing my age there. By the end of the book I became completely invested in Lexi’s story and wanted to see her and her friends overcome their addictions. Ich war nicht in der Stimmung und wollte es nicht riskieren, es vielleicht aus diesem Grund nicht zu mögen.

Insbesondere der schonungslos ehrliche und direkte Schreibstil lässt einen förmlich durch die Seiten fliegen.Man kann gar nicht anders, als darauf zu hoffen, dass es Lexi besser geht, dass man ihr helfen kann, dass sie sich helfen lässt, dass sie ihren Weg geht. One follows Lexi’s struggles, at first the physical withdrawal symptoms and then later the more mental ones. Tread carefully as this is a book that deals with many mental illnesses such as ODC, anorexia, overeating and drug abuse.
