About the Book

It's the spring of 1987 and seventeen year old Stephen Shulevitz has less than three months left in high school in the small town in rural Nova Scotia where he's spent most of his life. But as Stephen prepares to leave Riverside behind he falls in love with exactly the wrong person. And just like that everything changes. What follows is emotionally devastating but Stephen survives with his compassion and sense of humour intact and, at the end, he is ready to accept himself and take steps towards finding happiness on his own terms.

About the Author :
Born in Nova Scotia, Janet moved to Ireland in 2002 after she met her husband, an Irish journalist, while travelling in Japan. In November 2011, she completed a Master's of Philosophy in Creative Writing from Trinity College Dublin. She has been short-listed for the Fish Short Story Prize (2008) and the Fish Short Memoir Prize (2012) and has published an adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream for younger ESL learners (2010, Black Cat Publishing, Genoa). She now teaches part-time at Dublin Business School and is working on her second novel.

Review :
A stunning debut. I loved it. Witty, devastating, with a melancholy humour, it's an impressive debut that begs to be read in one emotional tear-streaked rush I raced through it, found it hard to put down when I had to and wanted more when I was finished ... Page-turning, top drawer stuff in the genre it lives in Cameron's portrayal of 17-year-old Stephen Shulevitz is astonishingly good ... A juicy coming-of-age novel, and an important read A poignant debut ... Cameron doesn't shy away from the complexity of her material, and the effects are heart-wrenching. (Cameron is ) a talented writer, and the journey she takes us on is always pleasurable, sometimes moving, and has a lyrical literary style ... Stephen himself is a sharply drawn protagonist, his teenage view of the world suitably cynical, but underlined with almost poetic, acute observation A fantastic debut novel ... The book is warm, witty, heartfelt and utterly engaging - it's a superb coming-of-age tale
