May All Your Skies Be Blue

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

From the author of the beloved debut Boys Don't Cry - an unforgettable story of love, loss, regret and the indelible marks one person can make on your life.

He's leaning in. I'm leaning in. 'The future is ours to make, Shauns,' he says, lips almost touching.

Summer, 1991.

Dean: sun-stung and sticky with cool ice-pop juice, walks to the middle of The Green to get a good gawk at the new salon. And at the owner's kid. Hands deep in his pockets, his jet-black mop of hair hides the tension in his face and shoulders at the thought of going back home.

Shauna: stands well hid behind her ma - her eyes dark and haunted like the rest of her. The salon is theirs, a fresh start. The smell of her Ma's Body Shop perfume clings to her jumper - Shauna can't be anywhere else other than here.

Instantly inseparable, their friendship blooms. But as time passes and tell-tale blushes and school fights develop into something deeper, conflicting responsibilities threaten to pull Shauna and Dean apart.

When all seems lost, will they find each other under the same blue sky?
