Siobhan Dowd

While running away from a London foster home just before her fifteenth birthday, Holly has ample time to consider her years of residential care and her early life with her Irish mother, whom she is now trying to reach.

Holly and her alter-ego Solace aren't particularly likeable since she wears her defences like her bright blonde wig. She's so broken down that by the end of her runaway journey to travel back to Ireland to find her mam, she's finally able to finally put together all the pieces & realize that she needs a helping hand, and it's probably not going to be the one she thought. S'alright, but didn't completely grab me.
