Annie is starting college and she can’t wait for the adventure to begin. No more being told what to do. No more rules. No more labels. As a teenager with cerebral palsy, independence matters more than anything to Annie. The last thing she's looking for is romance.

Fab is starting college too. He's wild and energetic and he believes that the greatest adventure in life is falling in love. He's left his home in Poland and he feels adrift in the world. The one thing he's looking for is romance.

What will happen when Fab and Annie meet? Will either of them find what they are truly looking for?

Big thoughts, big dreams and bigger laughs, Jenny McLaghlan is the star of feel-good fiction.

Let me tell you about my love for this book. Deep, honking laughter, heart eyed love.

Annie is a sassy, independent young woman with cerebral palsy. Fab is a giant Polish immigrant boy who loves life. They bond over Wuthering Heights. Fab wants Annie to be his girl and sweet, independent Annie is not having a bar of it even though the canteen lady is shipping fannie. Throw in a group of weird and endearing friends and a mum that flips you off, and you've got simply the most excellent comedic young adult author I've ever seen.

Jenny McLachlan is in a league all of her own.
