About the Author:
Janni Visman was born in 1960, and studied film at the London College of Printing and mixed media at The Slade School of Fine Art. She is currently living in London and writing her second book.
Review:
Selina has been Maddy's best friend since childhood. Their closeness is intriguing but over the years it develops into a twisted and complex friendship; Selina is manipulative, bitchy, arrogant and wild, and always insanely jealous of placid Maddy, stealing or destroying whatever Maddy has. The girls leave school, grow into defiant women and share a flat. Their tempestuous friendship results in the greatest betrayal of all by Selina, yet amazingly their friendship survives. From sex education lessons at school to sex education in real life, the story of these two fascinating women takes in love, pain, betrayal and death. Extremely well-written and a joy to read, this is an elegant debut from Visman who is already working on her second book.

They're twelve years old and best friends. As they grow older, their friendship becomes more c omplicated.

On leaving school, the two friends move in togethe r. Selina swans from lover to lover, and develops a serious inter est in drugs while Maddy runs a clothes stall in Camden Market an d falls in love for the first time. But it's still the same old s tory- whatever Maddy has Selina takes or destroys. Yet their frie ndship survives - until the day Selina makes a revelation that fi nally breaks Maddy's heart.
