Book description
Kit Hannah is about to start university. He's funny, clever and
popular, but he's harbouring a dark foreboding he dare not share with
anyone. And it's with a heavy heart that he leaves home to begin a new
life.
At the vast Halls of Residence he can be the life and soul of the
party - and there are lots of parties, lots of sex, lots of bad
behaviour. Kit is naughty, witty and compassionate and everyone wants
to be his friend. But more often than not he withholds that friendship
and retreats from the gang - including Benny Bull, a pathological liar
from Dudley; Adrian Dangerous, an achievement-driven fitness fanatic;
Alex, a ballsy exchange student from Memphis; laid-back Simon; and
Petra from Stirling, who wants nothing more than Kit - although Kit
sees her more as a friend. The object of his affections is Colette -
yet whenever Kit gets close to her, something seems to hold him back.
Freshers is an exciting and exuberant coming-of-age novel
about getting wise and growing up.
