Seventeen-year-old Eleanor has left rural Lincolnshire for Brighton in search of a fresh start. Everything goes right till everything goes wrong-a funny, tragic, unpredictable story of a young girl's dangerous journey through an abusive relationship and coming out the other side. Critchley gets inside the mind of both abuser and abused laying bare the strange and strained logic of both, but in the end her protagonist emerges bravely and triumphantly the less deceived but not before things have gone terribly wrong.
