Asking For A Friend
Kate Mallinder
A feel-good YA story from the author of Summer of No Regrets about valuing the friends that value you.
Agnes, Hattie and Jake travel on the school bus together but don't know each other well. They plan a week in Weston as a 'study break' before exams but none of them admit the real reasons they need to get away. Agnes must find her sister. Hattie can't bear being home now all her friends have ghosted her. And Jake is afraid he's ill and has absolutely no idea how to tell anyone.
Thrown together, what will happen when the secrets start to spill out?
