Description

Alex Hunt, a senior student in a high school in the small town of Rotorua, New Zealand, has his world turned upside down when a new neighbour, Piers Yzel, moves in next door. Piers is cool, lonely and has similar interests to Alex, unlike his cheating girlfriend Shonnie who has retreated back across the Tasman to Australia. This coming - of - age story exposes adolescence and young relationships from an unexpected angle, leaving the reader to reflect on the consequences and meaning of love. Lovers of the bard's work will enjoy this contemporary twist on Romeo and Juliet.
