If you have any requests for which book I should talk about next, please let me know in the comments down below.Anniek, Michelle and I are back with another Pride challenge for 2020. Let me know what you thought of this book! I barely cared for this novel and really wanted it done. Overall I think the story has potential but it wasn’t the greatest execution. I got the impression the novel tries to instill confidence in young women, but it is mostly tell them ‘you first have to fuck up bad, then everything will be okay and you will get everything you want.’ Not a thing I would want to teach my kids. Emmy comes out at some point and then the whole story starts to revolve around that fact and she gets everything she wants. I literally feel this novel is a book on how not to party and have lgbtq relationships. I know that Emmy also has a sister who cares for her, where her parents are also only out for her money. The rest of the band is a bit in the background. They do a lot for Emmy, but when those two get together there is a lot of kissing involved. I can’t remember whether Alfie was the person that wanted to be called ‘they’ or if it was someone else. And soon started to blur together with other characters. I got annoyed with the characters of Alfie, is still don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl. Only after she really starts looking at what she wants and where she wants to go she chooses the right things. Makes her the train wreck she never wanted to be. She goes with a girl who is completely wrong for her, the girl makes Emmy pay for everything and messes the girl up. She doesn’t know how to tell her band/friends or her fans. I give The Brightsiders by Jen Wilde three out of five reads because it wasn’t as much fun and light as I had wished for or what the back suggested.Įmmy is a curious girl, she is bi but nobody knows. Will the inevitable fallout turn her into a clickbait scandal (again)? Or will she find the strength to stand on her own? She knows hooking up with a band member is exactly the kind of trouble she should be avoiding, and yet Emmy and Alfie Just. Luckily, Emmy has her friends and bandmates, including the super-swoonworthy Alfie, to help her pick up the pieces of her life. When a night of partying lands Emmy in hospital and her girlfriend in jail, she’s branded the latest tabloid train wreck. But there’s nothing the paparazzi love more than watching a celebrity crash and burn.
