About this ebook

You've read their best selling novels and memoirs. Now some of Australia's favorite female writers recount the true stories of their teenage years in this bumper collection . . . Remember your high school formal, your first love, first kiss, first bra, and the first time you realized 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 humor. 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.
