Step 2 in being as socially awkward as possible at a party: getting so distracted by all the noise around you, you cant hold up a conversation

Role Model by Elle McNicoll

📣 They want her to speak for everyone. She just wants to be heard.

Pre-Reading Thoughts

McNicoll always brings sharp emotional truth to her books, and I was curious how she'd handle politics, pressure, and identity all tangled together. I was already tense on Aeriel's behalf just from the blurb.

Post-Reading

As I thought... Aeriel is a brilliantly real protagonist — bright, brave, and hurting — and the way her experiences are shaped (and distorted) by her mother's political role is compelling and painful.

It surprised me by... just how relentless the pressure felt. This isn’t a quiet struggle, it’s an emotional landslide — one that shines a light on the constant, unfair burden placed on marginalised kids to educate, represent, and never slip up.

This Page is smart, curious, and still learning to wield her intelligence to its full effect. This is a lesson Aeriel needs to learn during her story, and one that will serve her well as she grows up.
