Lovereading view...
A feisty story of the ups and downs and sometimes near disasters of two teen sisters sent away from their home in Oxford to stay with an aunt in Brighton after sinister things happen at home. Younger sister Robyn, the sensible one, tells the entertaining story of how she tries to keep track of her highly attractive older sister who just wants to enjoy herself. Not difficult in a place like Brighton… This is the author’s first foray into writing for teens and it doesn’t disappoint.

Synopsis
Bright Girls by Clare Chambers
Outstanding new voice in girls' fiction. Fifteen-year-old Robyn (the
"sensible") one and her older sister Rachel (anything but!) arrive in
Brighton to spend the summer with their estranged Aunt Jackie, who runs
a ballgown hire business from her ramshackle multi-storey home. They
have been forced to leave their home in Oxford, where they live with
their father, because of threats to their safety, the nature of which
only gradually becomes apparent.
