De: Tash Doherty

Narrado por: Tash Doherty

"Everyone has their own rebellion. This is mine."

Fifteen-year-old Abbie Chesterton's social life is in ruins. Exiled from London's elite teenage scene after her ex-best friend started dating her ex-boyfriend, she's trapped in a world of loneliness and rejection.

Until she meets Jonah Wood. American. Brilliant. Strange. Irresistible.

Through Jonah's eyes, London transforms into a playground of possibility—arthouse cinemas, secret riverside spots, hidden walkways that lead to versions of herself she never knew existed. Her art. Her voice. Her desires.

Getting into Jonah's prestigious school becomes Abbie's obsession. But as she chases this new future, she doesn't see what she's leaving behind—including Julie, the one friend who never abandoned her. By the time Abbie realizes how much Jonah has changed her, the damage may already be done.

Experience Tash Doherty's spicy, emotional debut novel about finding yourself—even when it means losing everyone else. Set against the backdrop of 2010 London, this coming-of-age story captures the exquisite pain and pleasure of first love, fierce friendship, and the beautiful chaos of becoming yourself.

Perfect for fans of Normal People, Sally Rooney, and Euphoria.

Listen as Abbie's world unfolds in this intimate, honest portrayal of teenage life that doesn't shy away from the messy parts of growing up.
