A warm and funny Australian teen romance for readers who love Nina Kenwood, Jenny Han, Tobias Madden and Becky Albertalli.

Plan for the perfect summer before year 12:

  • Do a life-drawing course at the Australian Art School. (Try not to freak out the first time you have to draw a naked man.)
  • Find your friends. (Your real ones.)
  • First kiss?! (Only if it's with the right person.)
  • Try not to wish your sister were still here. (Impossible!)

A warm and funny novel about finding yourself... in a room full of strangers, drawing naked people.

A vivid sense of place pulses through this novel with a heartfelt core and a glimpse of how imagination can illuminate truth and connect us to others. β€” Melina Marchetta, bestselling author of Looking for Alibrandi.

About the Author

As a year 11 student, Zoe Gaetjens attended a life drawing workshop where she failed to plan anything significant. She has since traded her charcoal for a laptop and writes books for children and young adults. When Zoe is not writing she works as a high school English teacher. She believes that the books you love as a teenager stay with you forever. Zoe lives just outside of Sydney with her husband and three kids.
