Puberty Blues
Author(s): Kathy Lette
A publishing phenomenon in Lette’s native Australia, this hilarious and powerful novel is as painfully true today as when it was first published.
For wannabe ‘top chicks’ Deb and Sue, their goal in life is clear: to be accepted into the coolest surfie gang in town.
To graduate into this sexy, enticing world, the rules are simple. You have to be desired by one of the surfie boys, bejustskinny enough, do the Scotch drawback and know all about sex.
But as Deb and Sue swiftly find out, the golden world of the Aussie surf scene isn’t all it immediately seems. They might be climbing up the social hierarchy – but at what cost to themselves? And can they resist the darker temptations of the gang in which they’ve invested everything in?
