Summary

A story of friendship, rebellion and what it means to be alive from the author of Page 105 Candace Bennett knows a lot of things. She knows a lot about Shakespeare, passing exams and making yourself into a worthy Oxbridge candidate. She also knows a lot about academic pressure. She doesn't know what a party is like, how it feels to kiss a boy or to even feel attracted one, or to pursue her real dream of becoming an actress. In her house, all that is, and much more, is banned. Enter Neve: Candace's best friend, who has just returned from a chaotic weekend in Amsterdam where she gained a new perspective of life and what it means to truly live. After sharing her wisdom with Candace, the two embark on the Great Teenage Rebellion, breaking one repressive rule at a time, in the pursuit of making memories, growing up and being alive.

Epigraph

'They fuck you up, your mum and dad.

They may not mean to, but they do.

They fill you with the faults they had

And add some extra, just for you."

- Philip Larkin, 'This Be The Verse'

'I want to break free from your lies,

You're so self-satisfied, I don't need you.

I want to break free.'

- Queen, 'I Want To Break Free'
