The Secrets of Love

'Upon my word, I never saw a young woman so desperately in love in my life!'
Sense and Sensibility– Jane Austen

What would happen if you transferred the traumas of teenage love from Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility to the twenty-first century? How would Ellie, Abby and Georgie fare without the restraints of nineteenth-century England?
     Will Ellie’s ever-sensible attitude towards life prevent her from ever snogging the gorgeous, but somewhat reticent, Blake?
     Is Abby’s devil-may-care outlook destined to land her in big trouble with Hunter, who majors in being up himself?
     And what about the baby of the family, Georgie? She’s a tomboy, with more male friends than anyone, and so strong-willed she’ll never take no for an answer!

‘This sharp, laugh-packed take on Austen’s classic story will have you grinning from ear to ear at the romantic scrapes of the three Dashwood sisters.’
Mizz

'… tackles teenager problems with her usual blend of humour and compassion … continues to explore unflinchingly and believably issues which are at the heart of teenage malaise.'
