Karen Gregory's heartfelt, thought-provoking second novel about love against the odds is perfect for readers of Lisa Williamson, Sara Barnard and Sarah Crossan.
When she was little, Joni used to have dreams that she could fly. But these days her feet are firmly on the ground - they have to be when money's tight and her dad can't work and the whole family has to pull together to keep afloat.
Then she meets Annabel. Annabel is everything Joni isn't, and yet there's a spark between them. Though Joni barely believes it at first, she thinks they might be falling in love.
But when Annabel's parents find out about the relationship, it's clear they believe there are some differences that are impossible to overcome ...
Sas is a WAAPA graduate with 8 years experience in bookshops, specialising in Children's and Young Adult fiction. She reads fantasy when she gets the chance but you'll also find her curled up with classic literature and Silver Screen star biographies. She loves getting kids excited about new adventures and is so enthusiastic when giving recommendations that she sometimes gets tongue-tied.
Joni’s family live on a housing estate in England. She doesn’t mind it because her family is all that matters to her, and this tiny, rundown, leaking flat keeps them all together. And now it’s about to be sold.
After years of trying, Joni finally has a job at the local library and suddenly so does someone else. Annabel. But she’s not working, oh no, she’s volunteering, because Daddy owns library.
An incredible novel that invokes interest in politics, social constructs, class, and prejudice. My favourite F/F novel.
