Love and Other Survival Skills
Description
She's the golden girl. He's the school troublemaker. But when everything falls apart, they might just find love – and themselves – in the wilderness.
Ruby has the perfect life – a beautiful girlfriend, Rhiannon, a big circle of friends and a flawless academic record. But when Rhiannon publicly dumps her and accuses her of faking her bisexuality for popularity, the cracks start to appear.
Sean's life is a bit of a mess – loner, troublemaker and somehow always out of step. Now he's desperate to escape home and school where he's suspected of a crime he didn't commit. He's ready to leave everything behind; including Ruby, the girl he's been in love with forever.
Trapped on an outdoor adventure trip to Wales, the two rekindle a tentative friendship. But with Sean planning to run and Ruby hanging onto a secret of her own, there's more than one kind of storm on the horizon …
A romcom about messy feelings, big secrets and owning your queerness: perfect for fans of BETTER THAN THE MOVIES and IMOGEN, OBVIOUSLY.
