The Cows

It's a year and a half on from 'Paper Aeroplanes', and Renee is now living idyllically with her Auntie Jo. They even have geese, and Renee likes to sit and watch them, wondering if she'll ever find 'the one' - someone who will love her no matter what, and be there for her no matter how bad things get. She and Flo are in their final year at school, and they've got some tough choices to make - like will they go to university? And if so where - and will they go together? Renee's usual ambivalence on the matter shocks Flo, who had assumed they'd continue as they were, the best and closest of friends, forever. She feels as though she needs Renee's support more than ever, so when a handsome young boy enters Flo's life, she finds herself powerfully drawn to his kindness, and his faith.

Zastanów się dwa razy, zanim prześlesz komuś tajną wiadomość. Dowcipne, mocne, odważne, jak życie współczesnych nastolatek. Wrzesień 1994 roku. Na Guernsey, małej brytyjskiej wyspie u wybrzeża Francji, rozpoczyna się nowy rok szkolny. Dla Flo i Renée, piętnastoletnich uczennic prywatnej szkoły dla dziewcząt, okaże się on niezwykle ważny. Chociaż różnią się od siebie tak bardzo, jak to tylko możliwe, tkwi w nich coś, co połączy je mimo odmiennych charakterów.

Papierowe samoloty

A poignant, often laugh-out-loud funny and unforgettable snapshot of small-town adolescence and the heart-stopping power of female friendship for fans of Caitlin Moran and Lena Dunham. I just can't imagine me without you... It's the mid-1990s, and fifteen year-old Guernsey schoolgirls, Renée and Flo, are not really meant to be friends. Thoughtful, introspective and studious Flo couldn't be more different to ambitious, extroverted and sexually curious Renée. But Renée and Flo are united by loneliness and their dysfunctional families, and an intense bond is formed. Although there are obstacles to their friendship (namely Flo's jealous ex-best friend and Renée's growing infatuation with Flo's brother), fifteen is an age where anything can happen, where life stretches out before you, and when every betrayal feels like the end of the world. For Renée and Flo it is the time of their lives. ----- 'A really gorgeous and nostalgic read' Marie Claire 'As brilliant as you would expect . . . Funny, sad and incredibly poignant' Stylist 'Funny and touching . . . a must for anyone who has experienced the joy - and pain - of teenage friendship' Grazia 'She has nailed every high school girl's defining moments' Jo Elvin, editor, Glamour
