Biographisches: "Holly Bourne graduated with a first class degree in Journalism Studies and spent two years working as a local news reporter on the Surrey Mirror, garnering a nomination for Print Journalist of the Year in 2010. She now works as a journalist for TheSite, an advice and information website for 16-25 year olds which has over 75,000 users each month." Rezension(2): "Paper Trail YA: An epic and unique release this summer that I plead you all to pick up! This novel has a distinct British feel with moments mixed with laughter, tainted with tears and bound with love. Holly Bourne has created a beautiful tale. " Rezension(3): "The Observer: An involving look at feminism, friendship and the secrets we hide even from those who know us best. " Rezension(4): "The Observer: This is not a novel about a condition: Evie's condition is that of being a contemporary young woman, and through her guerrilla feminist group with new soulmates Lottie and Amber (who will each get a novel to themselves shortly) she learns new pathways through life that all her peers can follow. " Rezension(5): "Lucy the Reader: It's not a book that I can find fault with because it was just written so perfectly and so carefully and sensitively. I just enjoyed it so much. " Rezension(6): "A Novel Youth: This book was kind of astounding to me... I got through Am I Normal Yet? in one sitting. " Rezension(7): "Once Upon a Bookcase: I love the Spinsters Club, and I so want my own! What I love is how Bourne breaks down these ideas so they are so accessible! ... There are a few feminist YA stories out at the moment, but this is the first I've read that actually talks about feminism and discusses how to be a feminist, and I think it really could be a game changer! And I am so happy! I am so, so happy and excited! " Rezension(8): "An Awful Lot of Reading: This is quite easily Bourne's best novel yet. Might have been a tricky subject matter, but it was funny and heartbreaking and thought-provoking. " Rezension(9): "Lancashire Evening Post: Holly Bourne is becoming something of a writing sensation in the world of Young Adult fiction... Using humour, high emotion, compassion, sensitivity and some hard-hitting drama, Bourne creates a beautiful, resonant story that tackles serious issues with the lightest and sometimes darkest of touches, giving real and moving insights into what it means to be young, confused and isolated. " Rezension(10): "Words from a Reader: My favourite YA book of 2015. " Rezension(11): "Quiz Writers' Choice Award Judges: Topical, thought-provoking, honest, current, relevant, kind of quirky... [the quiz writers] wished she'd been writing when they were growing up. " Rezension(12): "Red magazine: The book every young woman needs on her bookshelf this year. " Rezension(13): "The Telegraph: A very funny and poignant look at OCD, secrets, feminism and friendship. " Rezension(14): "The Guardian: A brutal and brilliant takedown of how we talk about mental illness, feminism, and friendship. If you've ever felt out of the ordinary, this is for you (ie everyone). It manages to be enjoyable without being flippant, incisive without being preachy. My first thought having finished it was I wish I'd read this when I was a teenager, but in all truth I think it's just as valuable to have read it now. " Rezension(15): "All the Pretty Books: A fresh young adult contemporary story that packs so many important things into one book. "
