Mona is at a concert to see her great hero, the rapper EK. She finds herself backstage and meets him face-to-face, where he showers her with attention and compliments. Mona almost can't believe it's really happening, and ends up going home with him that night.
The following morning things are very different. Mona is dumped in the worst possible way,and such things easily crush young hearts. EK complains of having experienced the effect of beer goggles. After crying her eyes out, Mona comes up with a plan. Mona wants revenge.
Beistet is an amusing story about how a select few can devastate a great number of people, and how good it can be to see a young heroine strike back!
‘Revenge is sweet. Beistet is a relaxed read for young people of the same age as the book’s protagonist, 17-year old Mona. The author has a daughter of the same age, which shows in the naturally flowing dialogue within the text. The plot is concentrated (and simplified, though not as you might expect) and contains a darker sub-plot that lends a sense of balance to the otherwise smart tone. Above all it is a complete and believable story about those who succeed and those who do not.’
VG
"«Beistet» er en lettlest bok for ungdom som deler alder med bokens hovedperson, Mona (17). Forfatteren selv har også en datter på denne alderen, hvilket den naturlig flytende replikkvekslingen bærer preg av. Samtidig er handlingen i boken fortettet (og forenklet, men pyttsann...) og inneholder også en mørkere underhistorie som balanserer den ellers så kvikke tonen. Og best av alt - det er en fullt ut troverdig historie, både om de vellykkede og de mislykkede."
