      It's the mid-1990s, and fifteen year-old Guernsey schoolgirls, Renée and Flo, are not really meant to be friends. Thoughtful, introspective and studious Flo couldn't be more different to ambitious, extroverted and sexually curious Renée. But Renée and Flo are united by loneliness and their dysfunctional families, and an intense bond is formed. Although there are obstacles to their friendship (namely Flo's jealous ex-best friend and Renée's growing infatuation with Flo's brother), fifteen is an age where anything can happen, where life stretches out before you, and when every betrayal feels like the end of the world. For Renée and Flo it is the time of their lives.With graphic content and some scenes of a sexual nature, PAPER AEROPLANES is a gritty, poignant, often laugh-out-loud funny and powerful novel. It is an unforgettable snapshot of small-town adolescence and the heart-stopping power of female friendship.

      So lucky
    • It's a year and a half on from 'Paper Aeroplanes', and Renee is now living idyllically with her Auntie Jo. They even have geese, and Renee likes to sit and watch them, wondering if she'll ever find 'the one' - someone who will love her no matter what, and be there for her no matter how bad things get. She and Flo are in their final year at school, and they've got some tough choices to make - like will they go to university? And if so where - and will they go together? Renee's usual ambivalence on the matter shocks Flo, who had assumed they'd continue as they were, the best and closest of friends, forever. She feels as though she needs Renee's support more than ever, so when a handsome young boy enters Flo's life, she finds herself powerfully drawn to his kindness, and his faith.

      Folge nicht der Herde

      Ein Roman für Frauen, die in keine Schublade passen Tara muss sich als berufstätige Single-Mum Anfang 40 und einzige Frau in ihrem Job einiges anhören. Auch die Feministin Cam, die aus Überzeugung Single und kinderlos ist, wird von ihrem Umfeld nicht gerade gefeiert. Die Mittzwanzigerin Stella wünscht sich sehnlichst ein Kind, doch um an einen Erzeuger zu kommen, muss sie tief in die Trickkiste greifen. Als ein haarsträubender Fehltritt von Tara die selbstbewusste Single-Mum zum Gespött der Nation macht, knüpfen sich unsichtbare Bande der Freundschaft zwischen den drei Londonerinnen. Ein Roman über Frauen, die ihren eigenen Weg gehen, und sich nicht dafür entschuldigen. Kühe müssen nicht der Herde folgen! Smarte Frauenunterhaltung, die kein Blatt vor den Mund nimmt.
