Always here for you
Miriam Halahmy (2020)
14-year-old Holly is lonely.
Her parents are never around and her best friend Amy has moved abroad and found a boyfriend. There's no one to hang out with at school.
Home alone in Brighton, Holly is at rock bottom.
Until she finds Jay.
He's caring and funny and they have so much in common. They chat online for hours. Of course, Holly knows to be careful - she's heard the horror stories.
But as she rows with Mum and Dad and Amy never messages back, Holly feels that the only person who understands her is Jay.
But is Jay all he seems? Is Holly in too deep? Should she agree to meet him face to face?
Truly Gripping!

A must-read of our time Gave me total chills. I could really picture myself in Holly's shoes. Recommend to all teenagers and all my friends - I think it is important both read it to be honest.
