Description

Told over three summer festivals, this stunning novel from bestselling prizewinner Sara Barnard charts the emotional turmoil of young love and early fame.

The Kerbs are a four-piece pop rock band on the verge of breaking big the moment that frontman, Drew, turns 18 at the end of the summer. But Drew and his long-term girlfriend Ruby have a decision to make: go public right from the start or keep their relationship private, away from the intrusive lens of the tabloids and the scrutiny of the Kerbs fanbase.

The choice seems easy. Ruby wants her life to remain her own she's seen how fame can devour the lives of those who stand in the periphery.

But staying secret comes with a price. As Drew's star rises and rumours begin to stir, Ruby starts to wonder if love is strong enough to keep them together when Drew's fame seems destined to drive them apart.
