The unmissable debut novel from the friendship of Ally & G

Description

An ode to female friendship and girlhood, this is the YA debut from YouTuber, podcaster and presenter, G. Forsyth Read, perfect for fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Nel, Flo, Maggie and Nicole haven’t been friends for years. Caught in the limbo summer between college and uni, each of the girls are at a precipice, deciding the direction of the rest of their lives. That’s when the notifications come through. They'd forgotten all about the time-capsule text messages they sent each other two years ago. Messages full of confessions, feelings and secrets that force them back together again . . . before they break apart.

  • Shining a spotlight on themes of body image, sexuality, romance, unhealthy relationships and toxic shock syndrome
  • For readers aged 14+, this is coming-of-age contemporary fiction at its finest
  • G. Forsyth Read is one half of the dynamic duo, Ally & G – hosts of the social series Backseat Driver, and the Leave a Message podcast

Texts from Readers ??
"I'm genuinely obsessed. I feel like this book healed parts of sixteen-year-old me. A masterpiece!"

"So relatable in so many ways - validating, refreshing."

Reviews

"Perfectly captures the beauty and chaos of growing up, stretching your wings and discovering yourself. This book is everything I’ve always known my brilliant G was capable of - tender, perceptive and quietly profound. Her characters feel like little sisters you can’t help but root for as they each navigate love, change and growing pains. With her own empathy and insight woven into every page, this book is so unmistakably her, and I feel incredibly lucky to know the person behind it."

"Thoughtful, funny and truly precious. No matter how you've felt in a friendship, you'll find something in this book that sees and understands you"
