Mine

Finn: On stage, I am Thor. Angry and invincible. I roar. Rage. I lose my mind. Yet for all my so-called potential, people always leave me. Now there’s Kayla. The only girl I’ve ever met who’s worth loving. The only one I’ve ever wanted to be worth something for. Kayla: I’m the weird girl in school. I’m not special. I’m uncool. Unlovable. Love is all an act, anyway. A game. But Finn says he really loves me. I want to believe the world isn’t as bad as I thought it was. That I don’t have any reason to be sad anymore. In each other they find the only place they have ever belonged. Until the ghosts from their past emerge to break them apart. “Partridge is a master at exploring the nuances of emotionally awkward teens, through fast-paced dialogue and detailed (but not overwrought) description.” – Sunday Times “Partridge cements her position as one of South Africa’s most brilliant writers of this generation.”– Itch
