Synopsis
An irreverent, feminist fairy tale for adults that teaches us to care less about what others think.
This is the story of a brave young girl, Elodie-Rose, who one day decides to change the world and keep all her fucks in her basket.
Wait a minute. You’re confused. What are fucks, you ask?
It’s quite simple, really. Fucks are her self-esteem; all the happy, sad and wonderful thoughts that sit in her basket.
They sit in every girl’s basket. And every girl must give these fucks away every time someone asks.
One day Elodie-Rose decides to break rank and find out what happens if those fucks stay where they are…
My Review
This is an AMAZING book, bloody hilarious with a strong message at its heart.
Within the wonderful rhyming almost poem like writing in a magical world we meet Elodie-Rose, a girl who like all other girls she knows wakes every morning and leaves the house carrying her basket full of fucks.
To those that ask through hate or unkindness, opinions or low self esteem and worry a fuck is given. The girls leave with the basket full and return each evening with no fucks left.
On a night there dreams of fun and happiness and crazy worlds replenish there fucks and the day starts again.
but little Elodie-Rose wants a change so one day she decided to give no fucks at all. but what will happen?
This is just the kind of book my teenage soul would have loved and needed a really girl power moment!
The simple, laugh out loud funny Story of Elodie-Rose and her basket of Fucks is one that anyone can relate to, that only yourself holds the key to your happiness, people can only upset you if you choose to let them! we see Elodie-Rose grow not only in confidence but in her understanding of the world.
Charming in it creation with wonderful illustrations filled with glorious colours, this is the book for you, your friends and the younger teens that can move past the language! and understand the message! the perfect gift for anyone.
