And, as Sunny discovers, everyone - from friends, apparent-enemies, famous bands and even rickshaw drivers - is willing to help a girl on a mission to get her romantic retribution.
A fast-paced, darkly funny love letter to London, boys with big hair and the joys of staying up all night.
'Fast and funny and happy-making' Lisa Williamson, author of THE ART OF BEING NORMAL
Twelve hours, two boys, one girl . . . and a whole lot of hairspray.
Seventeen-year-old Sunny's always been a little bit of a pushover. But when she's sent a picture of her boyfriend kissing another girl, she knows she's got to act. What follows is a mad, twelve-hour dash around London - starting at 8pm in Crystal Palace (so far away from civilisation you can't even get the Tubethere) then sweeping through Camden, Shoreditch, Soho, Kensington, Notting Hill . . . and ending up at 8am in Alexandra Palace.
Along the way Sunny meets a whole host of characters she never dreamed she'd have anything in common with - least of all the devilishly handsome (and somewhat vain) French 'twins' (they're really cousins) Jean Luc and Vic. But as this love-letter to London shows, a city is only a sum of its parts, and really it's the people living there who make up its life and soul. And, as Sunny discovers, everyone - from friends, apparent-enemies, famous bands and even rickshaw drivers - is willing to help a girl on a mission to get her romantic retribution.
A fast-paced, darkly funny love letter to London, boys with big hair and the joys of staying up all night.
LONDON BELONGS TO US is a galloping, giddy romp of a book about empowerment and staying out until the sun rises. Loved it. * Holly Bourne, author of AM I NORMAL YET? *
Enjoyed London Belongs to Us IMMENSELY. Sunny is a brilliantly realised main character. It made me want to go back to London too! * Louise O'Neill, author of ONLY EVER YOURS *
One girl stays up all night in a 12-hour dash across London. It's a love letter to the capital, fresh and contemporary. A brilliant summer read. * The Bookseller *
I was immediately drawn into the story when it had me laughing within a few pages. With its chatty, modern, and laid back writing style,I knew I was going to love it (...) I found it to be a unique, heart-warming and genuine story. It is a perfect YA read * famousinjapan.co.uk *
Fast paced, witty, humorous story! (...) If you're looking for a fast paced, witty story filled with friendship, relationships, and dealing with boys who mess with your head then this is the story for you!
