Resumen del Editor
What do you do in your teenage years when you realize what your parents taught you wasn't enough? You must go out and find books and poetry and pop songs and bad heroes - and build yourself.
It's 1990. Johanna Morrigan, 14, has shamed herself so badly on local TV that she decides that there's no point in being Johanna anymore and reinvents herself as Dolly Wilde - fast-talking, hard-drinking gothic hero and full-time Lady Sex Adventurer. She will save her poverty-stricken Bohemian family by becoming a writer - like Jo in Little Women, or the Brontës - but without the dying-young bit.
By 16, she's smoking cigarettes, getting drunk, and working for a music paper. She's writing pornographic letters to rock stars, having all the kinds of sex with all the kinds of men, and eviscerating bands in reviews of 600 words or less.
But what happens when Johanna realizes she's built Dolly with a fatal flaw? Is a box full of records, a wall full of posters, and a head full of paperbacks enough to build a girl after all?
Imagine The Bell Jar - written by Rizzo from Grease. How to Build a Girl is a funny, poignant, and heartbreakingly evocative story of self-discovery and invention, as only Caitlin Moran could tell it.
Featured Article: 25+ Quotes About the Power of Kindness

Whenever you need a little encouragement or gentle reminder, turn to these quotes from authors who understand the power of kindness and express it quite remarkably.

Historia
A hilarious, heartfelt sequel to How to Build a Girl, the breakout novel from feminist sensation Caitlin Moran who the New York Times called, "rowdy and fearless... sloppy, big-hearted and alive in all the right ways." You can’t have your best friend be famous if you’re not famous. It doesn’t work. You’re emotional pen-friends. You can send each other letters - but you’re not doing anything together. You live in different countries.

The death of legendary jazz trumpeter Joss Moody exposes an extraordinary secret. Unbeknown to all but his wife Millie, Joss was a woman living as a man. The discovery is most devastating for their adopted son, Colman, whose bewildered fury brings the press to the doorstep and sends his grieving mother to the sanctuary of a remote Scottish village. Winner of the Guardian Fiction Prize, Trumpet by Jackie Kay is a starkly beautiful modern classic about the lengths to which people will go for love.

Twenty years ago, 16-year-old Tara Martin disappeared from a small town in the heart of England. Now, her sudden return and the mind-bending tale of where she’s been will challenge our very perception of the truth. For 20 years after Tara Martin disappeared, her parents and her brother, Peter, lived in denial of the grim fact that she was gone for good. Then suddenly on Christmas Day, the doorbell rings at her parents’ home, and there, dishevelled and slightly peculiar looking, Tara stands. It’s a miracle, but alarm bells are ringing for Peter. Tara’s story just does not add up.

In this breathtakingly inventive autobiographical novel, Eileen Myles transforms life into a work of art. Told in her audacious voice, made vivid and immediate in her lyrical language, Chelsea Girls cobbles together memories of Myles's 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, her volatile adolescence, her unabashed "lesbianity," and her riotous pursuit of survival as a poet in 1970s New York.

The murderee is Nicola Six, a "black hole" of sex and self-loathing who is intent on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent lowlife whose only passions are pornography and darts; or the rich, honorable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch. As Nicola leads her suitors towards the precipice, London--and, indeed, the whole world--seems to shamble after them in a corrosively funny novel of complexity and morality.

By the time Wendy Lawless turned 17, she'd known for quite some time that she didn't have a normal mother. But that didn't stop her from wanting one.... Georgann Rea didn't bake cookies or go to PTA meetings; she wore a mink coat and always had a lit Dunhill plugged into her cigarette holder. She went through men like Kleenex, and didn't like dogs or children. Georgann had the ice queen beauty of a Hitchcock heroine and the cold heart to match.

This is his story, or, rather, stories - lots of them, and all gut-punchingly hilarious, from that first far reach into a girl's tight jeans to turning forty with a cataclysmic party. In between you’ll hear about acid trips, threesomes, Nazi skinheads, his band Anal Chinook (Inuit for “warm wind”), Martians in northern Canada, throwing pedophiles in jail, dinner with the Clash, what happens when you crash Bill Maher's show wasted, and the true story of Vice magazine.

loved it
Ah, the 90s when the only way to figure out if someone could be a new friend was asking, 'what kind of music do you listen to?'
this story nailed it
and the narrator/ voice artist was fantastic! every voice, conversation, expression... she brought so much to the performance. she really made the characters and personalities stand out. I haven't heard another audio book that felt expertly acted instead of just read.

Caitlin Moran, where were you when I was a teen?!!
One of the best audio productions I've heard in a long time. Second only to Ms. Moran's narration, this book entertains, educates, and leaves one wanting to hear more about Johanna Morrigan. I nearly drove off the road while driving to work and listening. I was laughing so hard and trying not to pee my pants.

How very English.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
To the right friend, yes. I don't think this book is for everyone but I really did enjoy the story.
Who was your favorite character and why?
It might have been Kenny (her boss). He just seemed like he didn't give her what she wanted to hear but what she needed to hear.
What does Louise Brealey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She did the Irish, English and Scottish accents very well. It really made the story come to life.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It had a few moments where it made me think "Come on Johana. You're better than that" or "poor girl has zero self esteem" and "Ha! I have no idea what kind of food they are talking about but it sounds vile."
Any additional comments?
If you're in the mood for a teenager reinventing herself and going about it in the London music scene....this is your book.

I didn't read the print version so I don't know.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The main character was incredible. She was so funny and honest.
What does Louise Brealey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her accents and character voices were superb!
If you could take any character from How to Build a Girl out to dinner, who would it be and why?
John - he seemed like a fun guy to know.
Any additional comments?
I loved this book. It was so poignant and the time period was when I grew up so I got it. I thought this was one of the best books Ive read in a long time.

Brilliant!!
This is a brilliant, very well told story! I was a little apprehensive (Being a Big fan of the other books) about the voice work being done by someone else... but it is so beautifully written, and told, that I felt as if I personally knew the characters individually. Spectacular read! Loved it!

The narrator was fantastic. Did a great job on all the different voices. The story was a fun, smart romp through a teenage mind and bad decisions with an optimistic ending. Very well- written.

When you see yourself in print, and its okay
What made the experience of listening to How to Build a Girl the most enjoyable?
The humor and compassion with which the entire story was conveyed made it always approachable, and easy to return to. And speaking as a woman who was a young teen in the 90s, the portrait of the time (even though it is in England) and place (lower middle class with a worthless but somehow not useless father) was hopeful and though simpler, on the cusp of great change was perfectly crystalized and presented. Reading this was to be transported back to look at a younger self, and realizing that though that younger self is an absurd creature, she is also splendid.
What other book might you compare How to Build a Girl to and why?
How To Be A Woman. This book expands on the Caitlen Moran character in HTBaW without being a simple retelling of Moran's life...it imagines a slightly more breathless approach, one in keeping with a teenage narrator.
What does Louise Brealey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The nuance of spoken British slang.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
Buy this for the young (college-aged) women in your life. It'll help them realize that you need not be perfect to achieve dreams. In fact, flaws can be memorable.

Wasn't expecting to like it, but I loved it
I read this for a book club and by the description thought it would be depressing and that I wouldn't relate with the characters. Instead I found it funny, inspiring and a brilliant riot of words. I really loved it.
