Skins – The Novel Review
Marie Davis
August Week 2
Back in Bristol Naomi, Cook, Freddy and JJ are in what i can only imagine as another club. Cook is hard at the ‘Game’ and JJ is sitting merely observing when Naomi feels the need to talk to JJ about what happened with him and Emily. Talking about the one time only charity event, Naomi explains to Jay that she is totally fine with what happened and that it was in the past. With Naomi and JJ friends again, Freddy joins them at the seats. Touching on what is a sore subject, Naomi talks about Katie and Effy and what happened at the camping trip. Freddy feels the need to protect Effy and him and Naomi only disagree with what each other say. With that she leaves the club with only one thing on her mind, Emily.
With Emily not exactually up to much this holiday she is already tucked up in bed when Katie arrives home from another night of mindless activities. Thinking about what her and Josh spoke about at the beach the previous day, she strikes up a conversation with her Sister. Things are still quite sour between the twins and the starting of the conversation isn’t a pleasant one. With every question Emily asks, Katie snaps back until Emily finally gets to the bottom of why Katie acts the way that she does. As a result Emily and Katie snuggle up together and decide that they’re going to go to Paris the next day together and finally get their relationship back on track! For now...
With the twins back on speaking terms they get ready for their trip to Paris, Emily as always is prepared and ready to go while Katie is taking everything apart from the kitchen sink with her! Just before leaving Katie sees that Emily has left her phone on the bed her having an ongoing problem with Naomi, takes the phone and puts it in her bag. At the train station, they are having something to eat when Emily suddenly realises that she has left her phone and asks to borrow Katie’s phone to get in touch with her girl. However she can’t get in touch with Naomi and Katie feels as smug as always that she’s once again in the way of her twin and her girlfriend.
Naomi – Bristol
With Katie’s scheming plan in action, Naomi tried desperately to get in touch with Emily and obviously has no luck. Getting more and more annoyed and frustrated as Emily doesn’t answer, Naomi goes downstairs to find Kieran at the kitchen table marking some work from the collage. They soon begin to talk about the subject of what Naomi is going to do with her life as the last year of collage looms. Being passionate about politics and general studies Kieran tells Naomi that if she doesn’t apply to university she’s stupid because she has such potential and with that he hands an application to Yale University America to her. Taking this back to her room, Naomi is left feeling confused about what to do , take hold of her future or leave the thing that has made her so happy behind?
Katie – Hotel evening
The twins have finally arrived at the hotel and are getting ready to go out for a night in Paris. Drinking wine and having a laugh, the girls arrive at the club and begin the night. Emily has no problem dancing and enjoying herself without a care in the world however with the men and the scenery being so different Katie feels out of place and alone.

Emily tells Katie that it’s not just her that feels out of place and the pair begin to argue from the bar back to the hotel room. Katie tells her sister that she will never leave her but Emily doesn’t respond knowing that she is just doing it to get in the way of her and Naomi.
