The Bitch Goddess Notebook

A story of three best friends who don't fit in. Outcasts in high school (who wasn't?) these girls look after each other as best they can. Normal teenage trials and tribulations abound, mixed with more traumatic experiences- the key events being an affair with a much older married teacher, an abortion, and revenge gone horribly wrong. 'The Bitch Goddess Notebook' flashes from their adult lives back to their personality-shaping teenage encounters.
The book gives a realistic, if slightly dire, view of teenage life, with drinking, drugs, sex and self-harm all explored. It also shows the strength of friendship and how some bonds last for life. Pithy, witty and touching, this book shows how life takes funny turns when you least expect it. It is a great read, especially for those who had a less than perfect time at high school, or who recognise the role of the outcast.
