Remember your high school formal, your first love, first kiss, first bra, and the first time you realised your parents weren't always right? Relive the joys (and the horror) of your adolescence with Some Girls Do . . ., as fifty-six inspiring and accomplished writers reveal how they survived those challenging years.
Whether they're writing about adolescent angst, first crushes, and being a rock groupie, or battles with anorexia, sexual abuse, or family after deciding to become a nun, these women prove that while the teenage years are not necessarily the best, you can survive to tell the tale. The result is a wonderfully funny, moving collection of memories, of different times and different lives, told with honesty, insight, sensitivity and humour. No two experiences are the same, because while some girls don't have a care in the world, real or imagined, some girls do . . .
Includes stories from 50 contributors including Nikki Gemmell, Belinda, Alexandra, Gabrielle Lord, Jessica Adams, Jessica Rowe, Kathy Lette, Kate, Holden and Rachel Oakes-Ash.
All royalties will go to Life Changing Experiences Foundation, in support of the SISTER2sister Program. Allen & Unwin will also donate $1 from the sale of this book to LCEF.
