Review: All I Know Now by Carrie Hope Fletcher
I have been reading the novel All I Know Now by Carrie Hope Fletcher recently and decided to do a review on the novel. All I Know Now is the first novel by Carrie Hope Fletcher. She puts up video blogs on youtube all about her life and about the books she's reading at the moment. This novel is centred on her growing up and what it was like for her. She tells funny stories from when she was in school and gives advice on how to deal with bullies and 'mean girls'.
Her main reason for writing this book it because she has written a blog for many years entitled 'All I Know Now' about whats going on in her life, the memories she has from growing up and they advice she want to give other people going through the same thing. Her blog became very popular and she was offered a book deal on ut where she would still write essentially her blog but just not to post it online and save it for her book and since it was a lifelong dream to write her own book she took up the offer
The issues she talks about in this novel consist of how to make friends, why not everybody has to like you and why thats okay, mending a broken heart, navigating the internet, finding yourself, your dreams, how to be happy with your self and much more.
Carrie is seen as a big sister to her viewers and from reading this book i understand why. She tells you what to do in situations but also tells you about her mistakes and how to avoid making the same ones, Like a true big sister would
Even tough some of the situations might not have happened to me and might never happen to me that didn't stop me from throughly enjoying this book from cover to cover. Its interesting to read about how another person would react in a situation and to see if i would react in the same way or not.
Its also interesting to read about growing up as a teenager in the late nineties/early two thousands and how it compares to growing up nowadays. Some of the problems of a teenage girl ten years ago are the same as now for example mean girls in school but some other problems are different as online bullying wasn't as big or wasn't even a thing back then so my only critique would be that some of the advice is a big outdated for the current fast paced life. But don't get me wrong i still immensely enjoyed this book and i would recommend it to anyone (mainly teenage girls but anybody could enjoy)
