Winner of the Waterstones Book Prize for Older Readers. A laugh-out-loud sapphic romcom for fans of Sex Education and Derry Girls.
When Aideen agrees to help ambitious class swot Maebh Kowalska deal with her crazy workload, she doesn’t expect to end up reluctantly pushing Maebh down the stairs and becoming the school ‘fixer’. Any problem a student has, Aideen will sort it out, from stealing confiscated mobiles to breaking into parties. But Aideen’s own life is a mess. Spending more time with the uptight (but annoyingly cute) Maebh and chatterbox Kavi, Aideen starts to wonder: can every problem be solved?
Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize for Older Readers and the Laugh Out Loud Teen Book Award. Shortlisted for the Children's Book Ireland Awards, the Irish Book Awards and the Polari Prize and nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
