Description
A love letter to best-friendship, first loves and unexpected surprises. A powerful reminder that every day has the potential to be the first day of the rest of your life. It's GCSE results day. Frankie's best friend, Jojo, is missing. And a baby has been stolen. But there are three sides to this story. Frankie, Jojo and Ram's lives are about to change forever as their friendships are put to the test by the unpredictability of life. They're each determined to find out the truth, but at what cost?
