ROWAN COLEMAN is the Sunday Times bestselling and award winning screenwriter and author of sixteen novels including THE MEMORY BOOK, THE SUMMER OF IMPOSSIBLE THINGS, THE GIRL AT THE WINDOW and FROM NOW UNTIL FOREVER. Rowan lives in Scarborough with her husband, large family and three dogs.
Friends since school, Jenny, Rosie and Selin enjoyed a riotous adolescence of nights out with the girls, too much wine and too often the wrong choice of men. Now it's 11 years later and Jenny is realizing she hasn't moved on very much: a dead-end job, time served in an abusive relationship and now out with the girls again. When she gives in to her feelings for the innocent 18-year-old Michael, Jenny knows that she is really going to have to grow up properly sometime very soon. This is a confident debut novel from Rowan Coleman, who accurately captures the warmth and the bitchiness that comes with long-term girly friendships and portrays each of her characters with wit and compassion. The dialogue rings true and it's easy to emphathize with the friends. Each has some life-changing decisions to make, but it's not all angst, and most memorable is the author's ability to portray sincerely both the optimism of youth and the anguish of unfulfilled promise. There is sex, tragedy and violence in the book but a warm glow can be looked forward to at the end. (Kirkus UK)
