NemeSIS door Marshall Susan
With her dad leaving home and her mother going through a personal crisis, Nadine is left to face the torment of her older sister Rachel. Desperate to improve her life, Nadine decides discovers an AA pamphlet and decides to create her own steps to conquering her fear and shyness. This is a fantastic read, dealing with discovering self-worth.
I’ve come across many young adult books with a theme of bullying and they have all had much of a sameness.
For me, NemeSis stood out for the fact that the bullying came from within Nadine’s family; her elder sister who she adored and looked up to.
”Rachel used to be the person I always wanted to be around. I worshiped her. For years.”
I feel things like Nadine’s point plan to take action and change her life could be beneficial to teen readers with low self esteem. Changing your life starts with one small step.
I enjoyed following Nadine’s journey from hiding in the Library at lunchtime to making new friends and joining the hockey team.
The story is candidly told by Nadine with her don’t take yourself too seriously sense of humour. She quite often laughs at her own naivety when she falls for her sister’s antics.
Marshall’s story came across as very real, but maybe a little over dramatised, because I have lived this life of treading lightly around an older sister with undiagnosed mental illness. The story was all so shockingly close to home.
I received a review ERC from the publisher via Netgalley.… (meer)
