Reviews
Youthful suicide, anorexia and drug abuse are dangerous topics for the novelist to handle … Playwright Sarah Brill boldly and successfully tackles all three in this first novel … A writer to watch.
–Lucy Sussex, The Age
Sarah speaks from the inside of a muddled teenager's head. And which teenager is not muddled? Every parent, however confident must read this book - it will open up their minds and help them understand their children. If you think you know your kid - this book will expose the reality- you really don't.
