Review - Clean by Juno Dawson




Title: Clean
Author: Juno Dawson
Pages: 400
Publisher: Quercus Children's Books
Release Date: 5th April 2018

Blurb from Goodreads: 

When socialite Lexi Volkov almost overdoses, she thinks she's hit rock bottom. 

She's wrong. Rock bottom is when she's forced into an exclusive rehab facility. 

From there, the only way is up for Lexi and her fellow inmates, including the mysterious Brady.

As she faces her demons, Lexi realises love is the most powerful drug of all ...

It's a dirty business getting clean.

Addiction and redemption, love and despair. Clean will have you hooked from the first page.
 













My Review:
 
*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Hachette Children's Group and NetGalley*




Heiress and party girl Lexi Volkov spends her days shopping, partying, drinking and doing drugs.
When she almost overdoses, Lexi is taken to a rehab facility in the middle of nowhere with a group of other troubled teens.
Lexi has a boyfriend back in London but she soon finds herself growing close to Brady.
Can Lexi admit she has a problem?
Will she be able to stay clean?


Lexi Volkov is the kind of girl I would avoid if we were at the same school. Despite this, I liked reading from her perspective. For a seventeen-year-old, Lexi had gone through a lot. I enjoyed reading as she developed.
The plot was interesting and held my attention. The rehab scenes felt realistic.
The writing style was easy to follow but it didn't grip me.
I liked the diversity of the characters. Kendall and Ruby were my favourites.
The romance wasn't one of my favourites but I didn't dislike it.
This is probably my favourite of the books I've read by Juno Dawson.


Overall this was an enjoyable read.
