Omtale fra forlaget

Everything about fifteen-year-old Cat's new town in rural Michigan is lonely and off-kilter, until she meets her neighbor, the manic, beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat, inexperienced and desperate for connection, is quickly lured into Marlena's orbit by little more than an arched eyebrow and a shake of white-blonde hair. As the two girls turn the untamed landscape of their desolate small town into a kind of playground, Cat catalogues a litany of firsts - first drink, first cigarette, first kiss - while Marlena's habits harden and calcify. Within the year, Marlena is dead, drowned in six inches of icy water in the woods nearby. Now, decades later, when a ghost from that pivotal year surfaces unexpectedly, Cat must try to forgive herself and move on, even as the memory of Marlena keeps her tangled in the past. Alive with an urgent, unshakeable tenderness, Julie Buntin's Marlena is an unforgettable look at the people who shape us beyond reason and the ways it might be possible to pull oneself back from the brink.

At fifteen, I believed that I would grow up to be the exception to every rule.

Privilege is something to be aware of, to fight to see beyond, but ultimateley to be grateful for. It's like a bulletproof vest; it makes you harder to kill.

Godt sagt! (1) Varsle Svar

I want to go home, but what I mean, what I'm grasping for, is not a place, it's a feeling. I want to go back. But back where?

Godt sagt! (1) Varsle Svar

When you grow up, who you were as a teenager either takes on a mythical importance or it's completely laughable.
