Texts We Never Sent

Dear future us . . . there's something you should know. Nel, Flo, Maggie and Nicole haven't been friends for years. Caught in the limbo summer between college and Uni, each of the girls are at a precipice, deciding the direction of the rest of their lives. Nel has her sights set on a gap year chasing sunsets, but her parents have other ideas. Flo is desperate to make it into art school, but her secret romance is distracting her from her work and making it hard for her to leave. Maggie is desperate to move as far from home as possible, leaving her toxic boyfriend behind. And then there's Nicole who, unbeknown to the other girls, has been hospitalized and may have to re-take the year. That's when the notifications come through. None of them remember the time-capsule text messages they sent each other two years ago. Messages full of confessions, feelings and secrets that force them back together again . . . before they break apart. A love-letter to female friendship, this is the debut novel from Georgina Forsyth-Read (one half of Ally & G), perfect for fans of To All The Boys I've Loved Before and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
