You don't know shit about the stars.

What can go wrong when you approach someone on public transport?

Marky, an honest teenager with a unique sense of humour, does just that and unknowingly starts a countdown. Val is fun and confident, but behind her polished Instagram feed, she hides a vulnerable girl. Together, they discover that secondary school is nothing like it is in TV series or books – that hot guys often aren't nice, nice guys can be toxic, grand gestures aren't always romantic, and sexual experiences aren't always magical. Life finally makes sense. …until it suddenly doesn't. If they can find their way back to each other, they might just be able to stop the countdown in time. Because that evening is drawing near. And time is running out. This bold debut offers a fresh perspective on YA fiction. Marky's narrative mixes humour with more serious themes, depicting secondary school life without rose-tinted glasses. Curious about what teenage boys really think about?
