Description

An ode to female friendship and girlhood, this is the YA debut from YouTuber, podcaster and presenter, G. Forsyth Read, perfect for fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Nel, Flo, Maggie and Nicole haven’t been friends for years. Caught in the limbo summer between college and uni, each of the girls are at a precipice, deciding the direction of the rest of their lives. That’s when the notifications come through. They'd forgotten all about the time-capsule text messages they sent each other two years ago. Messages full of confessions, feelings and secrets that force them back together again . . . before they break apart.
 

  • Shining a spotlight on themes of body image, sexuality, romance, unhealthy relationships and toxic shock syndrome
  • For readers aged 14+, this is coming-of-age contemporary fiction at its finest
  • G. Forsyth Read is one half of the dynamic duo, Ally & G – hosts of the social series Backseat Driver, and the Leave a Message podcast

“This is the kind of book I WISH my eighteen-year-old self could have read. So special. So important.”
“So relatable in so many ways – validating, refreshing.”
