Puberty – riddled with anxieties and humiliations – is the time every girl has to go through and no woman forgets. For Deb and Sue it was a time when only ‘top chicks’ survived – and getting into the cool beach gang with the ‘spunkrat surfies’ was all that mattered. Social hierarchies had to be respected and sexual hurdles overcome – whether the girls were ready or not …
Kathy Lette’s seminal first novel Puberty Blues, written with Gabrielle Carey when they were teenagers, is a hilarious but horrifying story of the way many young people live, and some of them die. This raw and guileless novel is as painfully true today as ever – and ultimately affirms that whatever else is taken from you, you must never lose the spirit to get out. Fasten your psychological seat belts – this audio book is a bumpy ride.
