A YA novel by award-winning author Kate McCaffrey showing the sometimes dark and terrifying consequences of our decisions.

Lucy is in Year 12 and under pressure to succeed. The last thing she needs now is an intense boyfriend. Breaking up with Carl feels like the only way to keep her dreams on track.

But good decisions can have bad consequences. After their break up Carl drinks heavily and crashes his car. Carl survives the crash - just - but is left with a brain injury.

He doesn't remember the accident, he doesn't remember the break up and he has become a completely different person. Darker, meaner, scarier.

Leaving Carl is going to be a whole lot harder than Lucy could ever have imagined. Especially when she discovers she's pregnant with his baby.
