Vågbitar

by Hilde Hagerup, Ann-Marie Ljungberg (Translator)

“Det var inte på det sättet att jag vaknade en morgon och tänkte att jag hatade Emma, men jag vaknade flera gånger och undrade varför Emma alltid fick det som var bäst. Det största skrubbsåret, det längsta håret, de största ögonen, den första bh:n. Sin bild på en bokmärkesängel…”

Anna är bästa kompis med Emma. Emma med spanjorögonen. Emma som alla vill vara med. Plötsligt en dag är allt förändrat. Vänskapen har förvandlats till avundsjuka och hat. Varför? Anna vrider och vänder på allt för att försöka förstå.

[Marlenesabine · Rating 1 out of 5]

Denne likte jeg ikke, uten at jeg helt klarer å sette fingeren på hvorfor. Det var noe med selve skrivemåten som ikke appelerte til meg.
