The follow-up to the number one bestseller Paper Aeroplanes, and a prequel to Honey Bee

It's a year and a half on from Paper Aeroplanes, and Renee is now happily living with her Auntie Jo. They even have geese, and Renee likes to sit and watch them, wondering if she'll ever find 'the One' - someone who will love her and be there for her no matter what.

She and Flo are in their final year at school, and they have some tough choices to make - like will they go to university? And if so, where - and will they go together? Renee's usual ambivalence shocks Flo, who had assumed they'd continue as best friends forever. She feels as though she needs Renee's support, so when a handsome boy enters Flo's life, she finds herself powerfully drawn to his kindness.

Renee and Flo's friendship will soon be tested in a way neither of them could have expected. While Paper Aeroplanes was about finding friendship, Goose explores whether it's possible to hold onto it.
