As time passes, her connection with Emma grows deeply but Phoebe starts to wonder whether her feelings for Emma is mere friendship or if she is falling in love with her. It was a coming of age and coming out story that made me cry sad tears and smile like a loon. Phoebe tries to deal with studying, her attraction to Emma, her mother leaving, her failing friendship and the truth about her father but her usual method of keeping people at arm's length backfires when tragedy strikes and she suddenly can't cope on her own.
Even with the main character being 15 and dealing with some teenage issues, it’s a universal story and will appeal to all ages. I was sent a copy of the book to review. It was a complete joy from start to finish and I read it straight through in one sitting. She currently lives with her godmother, Kate and is going through a lot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. When Phoebe needs to pay off a debt to Kate, she agrees to work at her Cancer charity shop and that’s where she meets Emma – the beautiful, cool and caring girl who throws a spanner in the works of her plan to focus solely on GCSE exams and avoiding a love life.
The idea of love repulses her as it's only for LOSERS! Phoebe is feeling abandoned by her mother, neglected by her boyfriend obsessed friend Polly and has no direction in life. Phoebe is a little narcotic and self-absorbed but she is a realistic character with so much depth and raw emotion that you can't help getting drawn into her story and loving her intensely. She never contemplated being attracted to a girl before and her feelings are sending her out of her comfort zone.
