Two girls get on a train across Europe. When they get off, they are no longer who they say they are. A brilliant YA thriller from the author of The One Memory of Flora Banks and This Summer's Secret, Emily Barr.

Two girls meet on a train journey.

One of them—privileged, chaotic—is heading to an exclusive Swiss rehab centre following months of partying and living wildly.

The other—who couldn't be more different—is down to her last penny, running away.

When they get off the train they are both pretending to be the other. Just for a short period, of course. Just until the rehab stint is over...

About the Author

THE ONE MEMORY OF FLORA BANKS, published in 2017, was Emily Barr's first novel for young adults and was a global hit, publishing in 27 languages. Before that, she worked as a journalist in London but always hankered after a quiet room and a book to write. She went travelling for a year, which gave her an idea for a novel set in the world of backpackers in Asia. This became BACKPACK, an adult thriller which won the WH Smith New Talent Award, and she has since written eleven more adult novels published in the UK and around the world. She lives in Cornwall with her husband and their children.
