About the book

In ten dazzling stories, Saba Sams dives into the world of girlhood and immerses us in its contradictions and complexities: growing up too quickly, yet not quickly enough; taking possession of what one can, while being taken possession of; succumbing to societal pressure but also orchestrating that pressure. These young women are feral yet attentive, fierce yet vulnerable, exploited yet exploitative.

Threading between clubs at closing time, pub toilets, drenched music festivals and beach holidays, these unforgettable short stories deftly chart the treacherous terrain of growing up - of intense friendships, of ambivalent mothers, of uneasily blended families, and of learning to truly live in your own body.

With striking wit, originality and tenderness, Send Nudes celebrates the small victories in a world that tries to claim each young woman as its own.

    Excellent collection of short stories, each story compelling and creative, diving into the depths of relationships, family and sexuality.

    ⤷‧₊˚3⭑ Ich habe eine Weile darüber nachgedacht, was ich diesem Buch geben soll, und habe mich schließlich für drei Sterne entschieden. Ich habe für meine eigentlichen Verhältnisse sehr lange gebraucht, bis ich es fertig gelesen habe. Einige der Kurzgeschichten gefielen mir, aber leider gefielen mir einige überhaupt nicht. vielen vielen dank für die Möglichkeit ein arc zu bekommen.

    This was for sure the most random and "what the fuck is going on here -ish" book I'ver ever read I've ever read in my life. Though it wasn't a bad book per say. Just kinda wild (?) Anyways, all of these stories had something to them, that kept me hooked. It was kinda fascinating to "snoop" into other people's lifes and a reality, that is (luckily !!!), miles away from my own. Likewise, we got thrown right into to plot and exited them in the same abrupt way. Which, in a certain way kept me on edge while reading. As I never knew, what was gonna happen next or for how much longer I was "allowed to stay" in this particular situation. I propably wouldn't read this one again, though If you're on the hunt for something totally different and surprising, this book's for your!
