For the first time in my life I feel like there is a chink of light, another way. Spook's world is raw, cut down to what matters. He is the first person I've met who seems free. Grace and her Cape Town friends are renting a house on the coast - after finishing exams it's their rite of passage into adulthood. But 'maturity' means different things to each of them. Brett and Louisa have plans - travelling, uni - what shape does Grace want her life to take? Uncertain, anxious and out-of-step with her best friend for the first time, Grace is taking control of whatever she can, starting with her own body. When she meets laid-back surfer Spook their attraction is instant. His nomadic lifestyle seems so relaxed and honest. Should Grace allow herself to trust him, and fall in love?
