Tearing Myself Together

Description

It’s Year Twelve exam time, and Hilzy has a lot on her plate. She’s just lost her job, she and her sister Max are struggling to make ends meet, and her childhood best friend Imogen recently dobbed them in to child services. The friendship is over.

There’s a new spark of joy when Hilzy grows closer to Dawn, the hippy girl who’s had a crush on her for ages. But when Hilzy ends up in hospital with a busted knee, it’s only Imogen who understands what it’s really like living with an invisible disability. Things are falling apart, but maybe it’s not all on Hilzy to put them back together again.

A smart, funny and profound exploration of the messiness of love, friendship and bodies from the author of Peta Lyre’s Rating Normal.
