At Olivia's seventeenth birthday house party, we see how Jonty her boyfriend is a controlling bully and commits domestic abuse, Ben is her gay best friend and Nicola is her best girl friend but hasn't known she was pregnant until that night as she gives birth!
Thing's only get worse when Olivia discovers whom the father and is broken despite the betrayal we see how she manages to cope and all the others too as their story is told a month by each character focusing solely on them and their life alike in an episode of Skins.
We see Nicola struggling then taking to mother hood whilst Ben deals with his sexuality and crush on a football playing boy, a typical jock character. We see Jonty change in attitude and approach his mother issues too.
However, in a final twist when first times get discussed things take a shocking twist we should be able to have seen coming!
I was hooked and read this in the sun outside in one go I couldn't leave it at all alike her book The Crash, it was gripping with the plot developments and seeing how each friend coped with the baby whom now effects all their lives. The original plot lead from the party which I didn't think it would start with straight away but in hindsight still believe a bit more foresight into their former friendship dynamic might have been more beneficial.
