Three friends have become four. But that’s only the beginning.
Ruby, Evie, Mollie and Chelsea were the bad girls at school. But Ruby was the baddest. Evie fought her anger, Mollie fought her mother and Chelsea…well, Chelsea just fought. But Ruby set her sights on a bigger stage. And together, they dreamed of a future where Ruby could sing, Evie could make art, Mollie could bake, Chelsea could dance – and all of them could finally feel at home.
A decade later, the girls are reunited for the funeral of Ruby Tuesday, the girl who took the world – and the charts – by storm, before fading too soon. And Evie doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she learns that Ruby has left them a house on Camden Square – the perfect place for them to fulfil their dreams. But does she dare take the plunge, and risk it all for one last shot at the stars?

A.L. MICHAEL
is a twenty-something writer from North London, currently living in Watford. She has a BA in English Literature with Creative Writing, an MA in Creative Entrepreneurship (both from UEA) and is studying for an MSc in Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes. She is not at all dependent on her student discount card. She works as a creative writing workshop facilitator, and copywriter, and is currently working on her new series. She has an alarming penchant for puns, is often sarcastic when she means to be sincere, and can spend hours watching videos of corgis on Buzzfeed. But it’s all research, really.
Thank you to the wonderful network of supportive writers I have around me, constantly there with cake and commiseration or congratulations and bubbles.
To my lovely work friends in my first ever 9-5, thank you for allowing me to steal your hilarious one-liners.
And huge, sparkly, endless thank you’s to my excellent editor Clio Cornish, who is as talented at correcting a plotline as she is at cushioning my poor, writerly ego.
For my friends.
We have moved on from WKDs, school trips and parties at Abercorn.
But you guys are just as awesome.
