-Empathetic, honest, compelling. I-ll read anything Paddy Crewe writes.- Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry'A gorgeous, compulsive, lionhearted book. Beautiful and clever.' Nick Blackburn, author of The ReactorKEELY feels alone in the world - grief consumes her, she wants to escape it, to take both her father's and her own pain away. She knows that solace lies in the act of loving and being loved but, struggling in ever-deepening waters, she doesn't know how to find it. FINN has been devastated too. As a young boy, growing up with his grandparents, he feels neglected by those meant to care for him most. With no real friends to turn to, he cannot find the vocabulary to deal with the loneliness and heartache that haunt him. As we watch them each grow, connection seems to be the answer - to be seen and heard and received as who they are. Maybe it's this that could release them from their private pains. Is it that simple?
