He's sexy and independent. And when he holds her, she feels safe. But is she? There's a flasher at large. It's the talk of the school bus. And when Rebecca's best friend Mary-Jane becomes his victim, the danger starts to hit home: Mary-Jane rapidly retreats from life - just as Rebecca is starting to look towards her future. Set in the sweltering hot summer of 1976, Pretty Thing is a powerful coming-of-age novel, a story of first encounters, lost hope and last chances. It pits true love against real life and asks: is love really all you need?
