Author: Katarina Kieri

Summary: Seemingly random stories about a group of teenagers

Spoilerfree Review
Bought for Children's bookweek and chosen for the awesome (translated) title and even better styling of the cover. Filled with individual stories from the point of view of Swedish teenagers who all turn out to be in the same school. It's up to the reader to make connections, even though the stories are stand alones. But as it turns out people's impressions of classmates are mostly misconceptions.
Very interesting construction and a message worth thinking about.
