About this title

Synopsis

Shortlisted for the Independent Bookshop Week Book Award, Children’s category

YA stars Sarah Crossan and Brian Conaghan join forces to break readers'' hearts in this contemporary story of star-cross''d lovers.

Jess would never have looked twice at Nicu if her friends hadn''t left her in the lurch. Nicu is all big eyes and ill-fitting clothes, eager as a puppy, even when they''re picking up litter in the park for community service. He''s so not her type. Appearances matter to Jess. She''s got a lot to hide.

Nicu thinks Jess is beautiful. His dad brought Nicu and his mum here for a better life, but now all they talk about is going back home to find Nicu a wife. The last thing Nicu wants is to get married. He wants to get educated, do better, stay here in England. But his dad''s fists are the most powerful force in Nicu''s life, and in the end, he''ll have to do what his dad wants.

As Nicu and Jess get closer, their secrets come to the surface like bruises. The only safe place they have is with each other. But they can''t be together, forever, and stay safe – can they?

An extraordinary, high-impact, high-emotion collaboration between two stars of YA. Perfect for fans of Patrick Ness, Malorie Blackman, Rainbow Rowell and John Green.
