Chasing Boys

Description

When Ariel Marini started school, her mum’s advice was, “Mind your manners, listen to your teacher and don’t chase boys.” And then life got complicated.

Dark-edged and funny, Chasing Boys is about what happens when everyone around you is moving on and you’re standing still.
