Overview

A warm, laugh-out-loud funny, poignant novel about sisterhood and finding your place in the world from the author of I Love You, I Love You, I Love You. Leonie and Nora couldn’t be less alike. Leonie is brave and bold. She left the Isle of Pitte behind in search of adventure and swore she’d never return. Nora prefers the cosy embrace of home. And besides, one of them has to take some responsibility. When her reckless lifestyle catches up with her, Leonie returns home to Pitte to recover in the comforting, cloying care of her younger sister. Instead, she's surprised to find reliable, steadfast Nora is just as lost as she is. Leonie and Nora have spent their lives certain they've nothing in common, but it seems they each have exactly what the other needs. And there's no one who can heal you – or hurt you – quite like a sister. Praise for Laura Dockrill:'Bursts with energy' Matt Haig 'Just DELICIOUS' Kirsty Capes 'What a book!'

Praise for I Love You, I Love You, I Love You: ‘Laura writes fiction like the poet that she is. No line wasted, every word perfectly placed. The kind of relatable attention to detail that will have you wondering if she stole your teenage diaries and rewrote them with clever insights and laugh out loud humour… I loved it, I loved it, I loved it!’ DAWN O’PORTER 'Laura Dockrill is a delicious writer and I Love You, I Love You, I Love You is glorious and tender, evocative and heart nourishing. I love this author and I love this beautiful book.' SALENA GODDEN 'Very funny. I Love You, I Love You, I Love You bursts with energy.' MATT HAIG ‘An absolutely gorgeous book. So visceral, nostalgic, mucky, heartbreaking and bittersweet. Laura captures that weird pocket of time so perfectly: before smartphones, MySpace and calling your mates on the house phone and shag bands and Green Day and all those insecurities and the sharpness of every new experience and feeling. Just DELICIOUS.’ KIRSTY CAPES 'It's a transporting, technicolour plunge into first, and enduring, love. As ever, Laura Dockrill's voice is entirely her own. She writes from the inside out and it's beautiful.' SOPHIE DAHL 'A nostalgic journey through the highs and lows of first love.' GUARDIAN ‘An absolute gem… A perfect summer read.’ IRISH NEWS ‘A brilliant, nostalgic read.’ CLOSER ‘A witty tale that will remind you of the days of teenage passion.’ BEST 'Described as Dockrill’s “ultimate love letter” to her partner, this is an absolute gem – an enjoyable journey that's a perfect summer read.'
