The Mrs Marridge Project

Elin’s first encounter with death – that of a teenage friend – provokes a personal crisis. Like all teenagers, she starts to question what life is all about. Her answer? Marriage. She creates and follows her own Marriage GCSE course (modules include Men, DIY and Women of Maturity), the culmination to be marriage on her sixteenth birthday.

Elin’s escapades and the direct and chatty style are entertaining, often comic. Her eventful year also throws up all sorts of knotty issues about relationships, family, expectations and growing up. Fisk investigates these with a light touch. A lively read that is sure to please younger teenage girls.
