Takes one to know one…
Sisters Sarah and Juliette are going on a whisky-fuelled campervan road-trip across Scotland to celebrate Juliette’s birthday – and they’re going to dig up some demons from the past.
Sarah is 15.
SEXUAL CONQUESTS: 2.5 (one only went halfway in)
GREAT LOVES: 1 (her English teacher Mr Keaveney, who definitely feels the same way)
HATES: Her annoying younger sister Juliette
LIKES: Her best friend Nessa, boy band 4Princes
Sarah is 41.
SEXUAL CONQUESTS: Rather not say, but that last one was compellingly awful
GREAT LOVES: Nope
HATES: Millennials like Juliette thinking they’ve got it bad
LIKES: Fellow Gen X-ers
A no-holds-barred, frank and heartfelt exploration of sisterhood, friendship and teenage obsession.
