    About this ebook

    Other Women's Lives

    Seven seconds. That’s all it takes to judge someone’s hair, their stance, their smile, their laugh or even their child. But what can we really know about other women's lives in a passing window? And how deeply do we truly know our friends?

    Maltesers

    Ruby’s quest in life is simple: find Maltesers. She knows that her grandmother has brought Maltesers with her, but where could they possibly be? As her quest for chocolate unfolds, so, too, do the secrets of the house.

    Bet ya name ain't Dusty

    Adam’s life used to be calm. He used to have friends. He used to date. But now his life is looking after his mother, who quite simply, thinks he’s the dog.
