Publisher's Summary:

An irresistible new novel from Guardian-award-winning novelist, Jenny Valentine.

Number 33 Georgiana Street houses many people and yet seems home to none. To runaway Sam it is a place to disappear. To Bohemia, it's just another blip between crises, as her mum ricochets off the latest boyfriend. Old Isobel acts like she owns the place, even though it actually belongs to Steve in the basement, who is always looking to squeeze in yet another tenant. Life there is a kind of ordered chaos. Like ants, they scurry about their business, crossing paths, following their own tracks, no questions asked.

But it doesn't take much to upset the balance. Dig deep enough and you'll find that everyone has something to hide

Publisher's Summary:

An intriguing, compelling, and moving new novel from the award-winning author of Finding Violet Park.

When the good-looking boy with the American accent presses the dropped negative into Rowan's hand, she's sure it's all a big mistake. But the next moment, he's gone, lost in the crowd of bustling shoppers. And she can't afford to lose her place in the checkout queue after all, if she doesn't take the groceries home, nobody else will.

Rowan has more responsibilities than most girls her age. These days, she pretty much looks after her little sister single-handedly which doesn't leave much time for friends or fun. So when she finds out that Bee from school saw the whole thing, it piques her curiosity. Who was the boy? Why was he so insistent that the negative belonged to Rowan?

Critic Reviews:

"A wonderful debut for many reasons. What marks this book out is not just its charm, warmth and wit, but also the skill with which Valentine braids together the threads." (The Guardian)

"No plot summary can do justice to the particular flavour of this book, both witty and with moments of genuine sweetness. Excellent." (Books for Keeps)

"Ultra-original and brilliantly written, this will have you laughing and crying too." (Mizz Magazine)
