When a young, free and idealistic Hannah becomes pregnant she's left with no-one to turn to and nothing to do. With the father not stepping up to his duties, will Hannah be left to turn to the new boy in town, who nobody seems to know where he came from? Hannah might not have to be alone in this, but maybe being alone in it would be better than being with a mysterious stranger...

Unpredictably shocking, this book brings a new name and vision to what I've thought of depression, also showing the way that people closest to those who are depressed are affected. It also shows the trouble of telling boys and men that they should automatically be 'proud'.

I think true brilliance has been shown in 382 pages; it's no To Kill A Mockingbird, but a great new novel by a new writer - it's trouble.

I give this book a 4.7 out of 5 for its powerful (to say the least) realisation of what depression really is, a mind crippling mental pain brought on by guilt and betrayal.
