by JennyDownham (Author)
If someone hurts your sister and you re any kind of man, you seek revenge, right? If your brother s been accused of a terrible crime and you re the main witness, then you banish all doubt and defend him. Isn t that what families do? When Mikey s sister claims a boy assaulted her at a party, his world of work and girls begins to fall apart. When Ellie s brother is charged with the crime, but says he didn t do it, her world of revision, exams and fitting in at a new school begins to unravel. When Mikey and Ellie meet, two worlds collide. Brave and unflinching, this is a novel of extraordinary skilfulness and almost unbearable tension. It s a book about loyalty and the choices that come with it. But above all it s a book about love for one s family and for another.
