Description
She's not just creating clothes... She's redesigning her life.
A small town YA coming-of-age novel about first love.
Ever since Dad Died
Mum has been super controlling.
I can barely leave the house.
The only places I'm allowed to go are to college and the community centre where Mum volunteers.
She wants this life for me.
Wants me to live in our small bungalow forever.
Wants me to run the community centre in the village where we live.
Wants me to marry my best friend Ambrose.
Me? I have other ideas.
Gabrielle has always wanted to be a fashion designer, showcasing her designs on catwalks in London and Paris. There's just one problem - her super controlling mother. Ever since her father was tragically killed in the capital, her mother forbids her from going out with friends or spending any time not under her watchful eye.
But Gabrielle is eighteen soon, and a meeting with local bad-boy Hudson, makes her realise the life she is living isn't normal. She wants to be able to go somewhere without her mum driving her, go on trips like the other kids at college and not have a debate every time she leaves the house, even just to go to the local library.
When encouraged by her best friend Ambrose to sneak out of the house for a night on the town, she runs into Hudson. After an argument with Ambrose she leaves the club, with Hudson hot on her heels, neither of them realising how that night will change both of their lives.
