General information
Title: All I know now
Author: Carrie Hope Fletcher
Publisher: sphere
Language: English
Carrie Hope Fletcher on the back of the book:
"I pushed and perserved through the crap allteenagers go through - the bullying, the boys, the peer pressure, the friends, the enemies, the frenemies... Now I`m here, watching as you guys go through almost identical experiences; trapped on the wrong side of a computer screen.
Helpless... until now"
About the content:
In her book, Carrie gives some great advice about everything that is linked with the life of a teenager. The novels` content is split into eight chapters which are called acts (like in a play at the theatre). Each act is about one bigger part of a teenager's life as making friends, bullies or the Internet. Carrie explains problems and situations as if she was in this situation right now and uses very clear and figurative language as well as great humour to stay natural and authentic while giving the right tips for tricky situations most teenagers have to deal with. I love her type of writing a lot which made me read even faster. But I have to admit that I actually read this book with breaks between the acts (or chapters ;-)) because it is not a story you can enjoy but more likely a book with many tipps and stories I had to think about (but you can enjoy it anyway). All "I know now" is in my opinion an amazing advice book I can highly recommend you to read and I am going to read her other two books once I finished my unread books (which is a lot..!)
Additional facts:
#1 The author Carrie Hope Fletcher is a british actress, singer and vlogger: she played Eponine in Les Misèrables at Queens Theatre in London and plays currently Wednesday Addams.
#2 When I think about the book there is also our wonderful trip to Oxford and the Blackwells shop where I bought it in my head. Of course a very positive reminder ;-)
#3 "All I know now" is my first English "advice book" which I can now add to my German collection...
#4 Carrie has her own YouTube Channel "Itswaypastmybedtime"
Finally I have to say that I love the book which is very obvious because a book written by Carrie Hope Fletcher cannot be not good (just look at this amazing cover and these beautiful illustrations!).
I hope you liked my very first book review (which contains hopefully not so many mistakes).
Thea ;-)
