But they can't be together, forever, and stay safe - can they? An extraordinary, high-impact, high-emotion collaboration between two Carnegie honoured rising stars of YA. The only safe place they have is with each other.
As Nicu and Jess get closer, their secrets come to the surface like bruises. But his dad's fists are the most powerful force in Nicu's life, and in the end, he'll have to do what his dad wants. He wants to get educated, do better, stay here in England. In 2017, WE COME APART - a co-authored collaboration - won the United Kingdom Literary Award (UKLA). The last thing Nicu wants is to get married. This was followed by THE BOMBS THAT BROUGHT US TOGETHER which won the 2016 Costa Children’s Book Award. His dad brought Nicu and his mum here for a better life, but now all they talk about is going back home to find Nicu a wife. Nicu is all big eyes and ill-fitting clothes, eager as a puppy, even when they're picking up litter in the park for community service. Jess would never have looked twice at Nicu if her friends hadn't left her in the lurch. YA rising stars Sarah Crossan and Brian Conaghan join forces to break readers' hearts in this contemporary story of star-cross'd lovers.
