Description
'THE SUN' EBOOK OF THE WEEK
From the brilliant author of 'Black Boxes' comes a gritty and heartfelt novella with a twist: 99 Reasons, 11 endings, your pick.
Kate isn't like other 22 year olds. She's got a job to do for her Uncle Phil. Each day, she spies on The Kevin Keegan Day Nursery across the road from her bedroom window, writing down all of the comings and goings in her notebooks. That's how she spots her little girl in the pink coat. She likes her, and it isn't long before Kate asks her mam to get her for her. Plans are made.
But then, quite unexpectedly, Kate flashes her breasts out her bedroom window at the little girl's father. And that's the reason that nothing will ever be the same again...
There is no one ending to Kate's story, instead there are eleven possible outcomes, 9 of which you can navigate through your e-reading device. Each is different, and each exposes a little more of Kate's utterly wonky world.
