Seventeen-year-old Hazel is forced to leave her ill mother in England to live in Australia with her dad, whom she's never met. Grieving her relationship with her mom, Hazel finds comfort and a sense of belonging with new friends--including brooding Luca, who's struggling with his own painful past. Heavy with emotional angst, this debut allows its characters a believably challenging path toward healing.
