Description
Primrose Leary is a witty, wonderfully weird teenager whose friends are pairing up around her. Even Prim's Dad is loved up, and she's starting to feel a little lonely. But when Prim accidentally hooks up with Kevin, things start to get messy. And when it's revealed that beautiful Mac's dad is the drunk driver who knocked down and killed Prim's mum, Prim has some serious work to do to untangle her feelings. The follow-up to Bisto-shortlisted Prim Improper, this diary-style novel is a real treat for fans of Sarah Webb, Anna Carey and Louise Rennison. Funny, smart and touching young adult fiction from an exciting writer with a fresh voice.
