Overview

Newly arrived in London, bereft Janice is looking to fill the void left by her first lover, Ariel, and cautiously makes friends with Kobus. When he ruins their friendship, she escapes the tragic consequences by running away to Amsterdam. There she finds a lovable ally in Colin, who is making the most of the city's exciting gay scene. When Janice falls deliriously in lust with the glamorous Hannah, she is unprepared for the inevitable heartbreak. But kind-hearted Kate is there to pick up the pieces and at long last Janice seems to have found her perfect match-and a reason to stop running and accept responsibility for herself.

"""Gritty, heartwarming and deeply evocative, this poignant story of love sought and found on so many levels teases out the complexity of human relationships, holding a mirror up to ourselves, whatever our age, our era, our place on the spectrum. Beautiful. A voice to watch out for."" Manda Scott, bestselling author of Any Human Power ""All the characters came alive for me. Ragini Werner's writing drew me in and wouldn't let me go."" Katharine O'Moore-Klopf, author of 'This Pencil for Hire' in What Editors Do ""In her journey to queer womanhood, Janice is wholly relatable as she scrounges her way through Europe, picking up cheeky friends and odd jobs. But even as she navigates various heartbreaks, specters of the past keep pace with her in ways that are surprising, yet resonant."" Lindsay Merbaum, author of The Gold Persimmon ""Unputdownable. A true rite-of-passage story. I read it from cover to cover in one go."" Eefke Smit, author of The Discipline of Curiosity"
