Every ending is a new beginning . . .
No one expected Marnie Fitzpatrick to be expelled from school . . . but the aftermath will haunt her forever.
No one imagined she'd fall for the boy from the wrong side of town . . . until the day she saw him dancing alone.
No one could know she had the one thing he needed to capture his dreams . . . the courage to chase them.
From the author of the Richard and Judy classic THE LOST ART OF KEEPING SECRETS comes a story about how sometimes the cruelest beginnings can lead to the most unexpected of endings.
I so enjoyed this emotional, engaging, vivid and different coming-of-age story . . . The thought-provoking narrative twists between Marnie's and Julie's points of view, and is beautifully written, intelligent and gripping - Daily Mail
A beautiful tale of first loves, secret passions and, er, maths - Heat
Eminently readable . . . Dense with detail, and richly filmic in the way it sets vivid scenes and
recreates clashes between the old and the new - musically, visually, stylistically - Telegraph, on The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp
An absolutely smashing read - Marie Claire, on The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp
A beautifully observed coming-of-age story - Woman and Home, on The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp
Vintage style drips from every page - Elle, on The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp
