That “friendship” died around the time Amy eloped! I think that was Valentines Day. Not sure if they have renewed their vows.
Yeah with Clem my first guess is always that she’s doing something for publicity.
Clem wasn't at her elopement nor her elopement celebration so I'd say that friendship is over. I'm so curious (nosey) as to what happened!!!
Good point! Does she mention being childless and single in her “I Don’t” book? I find there’s a lot of talk about this on Tiktok.
Having a kid is both the worst and the best thing I've ever done. Sorry... bit of a grey take for Clem who only really sees the world in black and white.
She does talk a lot about how challenging motherhood is in her "How We Love" book. Especially in the beginning, and how relationships can/do suffer. And also the impacts on a women's body. There are also a few parts of that book that talk about co-parenting which I found very relatable.
I think that "I Don't" will touch on children, I haven't read it, but how marriage and motherhood ended up rolled into one. You can have children without a marriage, or even a relationship in most cases.

Amys Instagram bio says they are a 'lover of books, coffee & confelicity'. Confelicity means taking pleasure in someone else's happiness according to Google.

Clementine seems to be unravelling and all the stories about Palestine where she talks about the backlash she has got for it are so awkward to watch. she has a remarkable knack for making everything about her.
Oh ok that might be where their IG “friendship” soured.
I've also been noticing the Amy and Clementine rift. I knew something was up when Clem wasn't at the hen's night or wedding. Only thing I can think is a philosophical rift over whether Amy needed to get married? But who knows, I don't always agree with my friends' choices but I suck it up and are happy for them. Amy has been through a lot if you've read her memoir, and deserves happiness.
Clem has said previously that she has nothing against her friends making their own choices with marriage, I can’t imagine her ending a friendship because her friend chose to marry her partner. I could imagine a situation like Amy invited Clem to the wedding and Clem said she wouldn’t attend due to the timing being around the book launch (which wouldn’t be a good look for her publicly). Then Amy deciding she’s clearly not a great friend if she wouldn’t publicly be there on such an important day etc.
We will probably never know for sure.
Amy got married back on Valentines Day I think. The posts from Amy this week seem to be from a recent party but im not sure
I think the recent party was like a wedding celebration on their 1 yr anniversary because the original wedding was really small & intimate.
I can't watch the stories. It's mind boggling she thinks that talking about insta drama is activism. At least she went to the rallies in Melbourne. I also find the Palestine footage cut with requests to buy her new book to be borderline psychotic.
Oh yes I know, sorry should have been more clear. She was still doing a LOT of publicity/content surrounding the book when the original wedding happened so I think a scenario like I wrote could still apply. I think if I was in Amy’s position I would probably feel similarly, if that was the case. I recently bought Amy’s book and I’m looking forward to reading it and getting more of an understanding about their life in general. Not sure if I will buy Clem’s book yet, I have enjoyed her others and I think her message is extremely valuable but not very applicable to myself personally. I think a lot of women my mothers age and older would have really benefited from a book like this- these days it seems less people get married due to society’s expectation and more because it’s genuinely what they want to do.
I agree. It’s nuts. One or the other Clementine.

Her book has to be targeting white women specifically surely. Splicing this promotion with her Palestine content is truly unhinged behaviour. I think she need to step away from social media.

Shocking and traumatising people and then getting angry they are upset isn’t activism. It’s cruel. There are ways to educate and inform and plenty of other people are doing this a lot better.
I agree with you- the constant switch between Palestine content and promotion for her new book is absolutely jarring. While on one hand I applaud her for using her platform to help inform the public, on the other hand she is doing it in quite an extreme way which absolutely could be traumatising to some people. Not to mention splicing it with self promotion comes off as unavoidably disingenuous (not that I doubt she is being genuine, but it’s absolutely tit timing to do this). As a fellow ADHD sufferer it seems like a hyper fixation? I wonder what the publisher and her management think.
The hyper-fixation’s are very interesting as the same people seem to get the same ones. They dropped The Voice for Palestine.
Hyperfocus: The ADHD Phenomenon of Intense Fixation
Hyperfocus, a common — but confusing — symptom of ADHD, is the ability to zero in intensely on an interesting project or activity for hours at a time. It is the opposite of distractibility, and it is common among both children and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
