Seventeen-year-old Mel Calder is desperate for her life to change, and she is learning the hard way that only she can make it happen. Left alone in their run-down house after her mother's breakdown, Mel decides to repair and redecorate it for her mother when she comes home, but it's not long before the whole neighbourhood is involved.
When Mel meets attractive Mitch Hamilton, lead guitarist with top rock group Asssassination, Mitch is more than willing to help with the house, but Mel is suspicious. She has no time for a boyfriend, particularly a famous one who will be off to other girls in other countries soon enough, and, besides, there's her lovely teacher, young Mr Edwards, so helpful and sympathetic. So when Mitch announces his intention to marry Mel, no one is more astounded than Mel herself except, perhaps, Mitch's girlfriend, the formidable Roxy Leigh.
In her latest compulsively readable novel, Liz Berry has created a courageous and resourceful heroine, who finds she is able to assert her independence and, against the odds, make a future for herself.
