Pretty thing / Jennifer Nadel. - London : Corsair, 2015. - 244 pages; 20 cm.

When fifteen-year-old Rebecca meets Bracken, she is convinced she's found her soulmate. So what if he's older? He understands her. She feels like she can be herself with him. 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?
