Kissing Emma by Shappi Khorsandi

(Hachette)

Emma and her mother are taking turns sleeping on the sofa in her nan’s tiny flat – and desperately trying to form an escape plan. Then Emma meets two men who convince her that she has a shot at modelling. But their motives are far from innocent, and Emma is pulled into a dark world. But then she meets Con, who is rich and handsome. Could her luck be about to change? A brilliant story.
