I Think I’ll Just Curl Up and Die!
They thought their parents couldn’t be more embarrassing – then they got worse! And what could be worse than having a temperamental mother who is expecting a baby (and by Melvyn), like Laura? Perhaps having a father who is a ‘wannabe’ chef and a mother who writes about you in the local paper, like Chelsea? What about Jemma’s parents, who tell her she’s too young for a boyfriend in front of her boyfriend? Or Sumitha’s who won’t stop telling her boyfriend how suitable he is? And then there’s Jon’s mother, who seems to be getting on a bit too well with a fellow design student . . .
Whatever Love Is
What would happen if Jane Austen's MANSFIELD PARK was set in the twenty-first century? When Frankie Price goes to live with her wealthy cousins, she finds herself part of a social scene that she'd only read about in magazines. Shy and overwhelmed, she retreats into her own passion: writing - pouring out her feelings into her short stories. But when the entire family is rocked by scandal, and her mate Ned comes under the spell of the beautiful but manipulative Alice, Frankie realises that she has to fight for the life she wants.
Just Don’t Make a Scene, Mum!
Parents – Aaaaargh! Jemma’s are out of date. They still think she should wear the hand-knitted jumper with little bears on it to school – and they call her petal in public! Laura’s are divorced. Gone is the lovely big house. Now it is a grotty little one. And her mum was seen kissing Melvyn outside Tesco . . . Sumitha’s want her to keep their cultural traditions – which don’t include boys, make-up or a trendy hair cut . . . Jon’s keep bragging about his academic brilliance – but in reality it’s not stellar, nor is it where his heart is . . . Chelsea’s mum is a writer of ghastly features for the local paper, an agony aunt and a wearer of mini-skirts . . . The five teenagers’ paths (and those of their mortifyingly embarrassing parents) cross and part throughout this hilarious book set in Leehampton.
Echoes of Love
Anna Eliot adored the gorgeous Felix Wentworth, but still called an end to their relationship. As time passes, Anna wonders if strict parents, interfering friends and misplaced loyalties had more to do with it than she wants to admit … Two years later, Felix, who’s been fighting in Afghanistan, is back. Anna longs to rekindle their relationship – but will he give her a second chance? Or will the echoes of the past prove too difficult to overcome? An evocative tale of the perils of listening to others, instead of your own heart.
How Could You Do This To Me, Mum?
Do your parents ever stop making you cringe?Chelsea’s father sells soup from a van, which is bad enough, but he doesn’t have to park it on street corners for all her friends to see! Jemma is determined to be an actress – so why can’t her parents be a bit more supportive? Sumitha delights her parents by turning into a total swot – if only they knew the reason behind it . . . Jon is sure he’s never going to impress Sumitha when his ghastly, keep-fit fanatic of a father keeps calling her the wrong name, and his born-again student mother spends all her time at demos! Laura’s mother, pregnant and seemingly set on destroying the planet, forbids her to go on demos with the buff Daniel. Even worse, her father, now living with the Bestial Betsy, seems to be getting a little too keen on whisky . . .
