Description

'I worked with Anna Daniels on The Project, she was great then and she's just as funny in print!' Dave Hughes

'There's lots to enjoy about Girl in Between -- notably the likeable, offbeat observational humour...Daniels' rather endearing comic style really shines ' The Sydney Morning Herald

As the girl in between relationships, careers and cities, Lucy Crighton is facing some awkward truths -- like her mum's obsession with Cher, her father's unsolicited advice, and the probability there's more cash on the floor of her parents' car than in her own bank account.

Thank goodness for Lucy's crazy-but-wonderful best friend, Rosie, who's around to cushion reality with wild nights at the local Whipcrack Hotel, escapades in Japanese mud baths and double dating under the Christmas lights in London.

But will Lucy work out what she really wants to do in life -- and who she wants to share it with

Girl in Between is a warm, funny, charmingly Australian story about life at the crossroads. Featuring an endearing and irrepressible cast of characters, it will have you chuckling from start to finish.

'...this is a super fun read that crosses several countries but knows that home is where the heart is.' Sam Still Reading
