#metoo and #bodyshaming are more than just hashtags - and can hurt deeply
Anna, Polly and Anouk all have very different goals after graduating high school, but this does not harm their friendship. Quite the opposite: they have to stick together more tightly than ever. As there are a lot of things about life as an adult that no one has prepared them for – not to mention their love lives! All these experiences are shared on a joint Instagram account. Graduating from school means quite a few opportunities, but what if the fear of it stands in the way?
Polly wants to move to the big city, study law and never again hear a stupid word about how you can't wear skinny jeans with size 48. So far, her plan is working out, except that she has underestimated the apartment hunting. As the start of the semester approaches, her best friend Anna suggests that Polly can move in with Anna's brother, since his flatmate has dropped out. Polly used to think that her friend's older brother was the usual pickup. Who would have thought Jonas also likes to spend time in the kitchen making French toast or brewing his inimitable coffee?
Things couldn't be better for Polly: She lands a job at a prestigious law firm. But the illusion is shattered in her first week, when her colleagues ignore her or make nasty remarks about her body. Polly tells no one about this, not even Jonas, although the two are getting closer. Polly has to admit to herself that she is about to fall in love with him. What she did not suspect before: Jonas also has problems with his body image. Polly realizes that there is no value in trying to impress people if it comes at the expense of your own self-esteem and finds her way back to herself and to Jonas.• True-to-life stories for readers aged 14 and up
