![]() ![]() It is a great observation – “Erica Yurkan you have an exaggerated sense of your own importance”. ![]() There is a great line in this book that was put in there at just the right moment when my patience of putting up with Erica was getting thin. ![]() And the stories she comes up with were so unrealistic they just became annoying as every time she opened her mouth it was a lie. You forget she’s only supposed to be 12 years old or something if she’s only in year six. It was interesting to see Erica’s family and social point of view but by golly she was an annoying child. ![]() This book was so surprising and a very odd read. Granted it was less eloquent in my mind but that isn’t important. The first thought when I started reading this was that we finally got a story from someone other than the middle class. So we sit through Erica assuming the worst, convinced Alison is out to get her and finding more things to hate no matter how small and shallow. Hating Alison Ashley is about a new girl arriving at school and Erica Yurkan instantly hating her because she looks out of place and a better class of person. Never in any doubt about her own genius she felt superior to everyone at notorious Barringa East… that is until Alison Ashley turned up. ‘I wouldn’t even be on the same bus as you… If I could have caught a virus in time.’ Erica Yurken knew she was destined for great things. ![]()
