Sixth-former Anna Campbell is the go-to girl when anyone needs anything. Teachers, friends, random strangers... It never occurred to her that she could say no. After all, Anna Campbell's always been too 'nice' to say no. But Anna is sick of being that girl, the nice girl, and she's going to do something about it. Only, is she prepared to risk losing everything she cares about - even herself - along the way...? A novel for anyone who's ever struggled to put themselves first.
Ok, I'd like Sophie Jo to get out of my mind now, please. Seriously, this could have been written from my point of view.
Anna is a girl who many people will recognise. Girls are taught early to be nice and polite and helpful, and some girls find it very hard to shake that off when needed. Passive aggressiveness is a very common trait in both genders too, even though Anna obviously didn't recognise that that was what she was doing. Those parts were quite uncomfortable for me to read!
This is a great read for people who learn to say 'no' a bit more often, or for people who need to learn to hear other people's no (there's a few of those out there as well!) This would be a fantastic novel to read in school or in a book club, or just for fun as well. Brilliant.
The Nicest Girl is available now. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
