Description

A beautifully written contemporary YA with a love story at its heart, by one of Australia's best-loved authors for young people.

I don't know if it's possible for people to change, not really. The way you're made up, the important stuff, I reckon you're born with that...when it matters, when it really matters, we are who we are.

Nate's had it tough. An abusive father. His mother dead. He's done things he regrets.

But he's never met anyone like Gem. She's a tiny piece of wonderful and she'll change everything he knows about himself. Is this the beginning of happiness? Or is there more hardship around the corner?
