DATE OF RELEASE: 29 JAN 2026

SIGNED EDITION

Books about friendship are not often described as love stories, but this is one. At the age of twelve, Nell has accepted that hers will likely be a friendless existence. She's not interested in boys or makeup or competing to see who can eat the least - so fitting in at her all-girls' school feels impossible.

But then, a new girl arrives at school. Eve has short hair like a boy's, a wicked sense of humour and an unshakable confidence that she will find her place in the world. And the moment they meet, Nell begins to rethink the whole friendless existence thing.

As they grow into themselves, Nell and Eve will love each other and hurt each other - through the chlorine-scented savagery of adolescence; long, drunken nights in share houses and gay bars; the highs and lows of parenthood. And always, despite unspoken feelings and sexual confusion, they will choose each other. Again, and again.

As friends, as lovers, as family. COMING JANUARY 2026. PRE-ORDER NOW.
