Book description
Nick Geddes's life is a mess. His sister's boyfriend was killed in a
school stabbing. His grandmother is decending into a world of her own,
his mother has a 'god-slot' on local radio, and his father is drinking
way too much. But that is nothing, because he is also crazy in love
with Orla, the sister of the boy who has been killed, and she blames Nick!
How can Nick make sense of this chaos, and look after his sister, and
hopefully get lucky with Orla?
Gillian Philip is an exciting new talent with a real ear for
contemporary life, as showcased in her first novel for Bloomsbury
Crossing the Line
. Gillian lives in Elgin in the north of Scotland.
