17-year-old Luka isn't looking for love. She's trying to piece her
life back together after a heartbreaking loss. But when she meets
the gorgeous and charismatic Cosmo under a meteor shower at the

Surely theirs is a love written in the stars. But Cosmo isn't what
he seems, using Luka's love for him to slowly take control of her
life. As the pandemic starts to make headlines and lockdown sets
in, she is trapped emotionally and physically in a coercive
relationship. Luka's friends and brother can see what's happening,
but struggle to reach her. Something will have to be sacrificed so
Luka can set herself free - but what will be left of her when she
does? (TRUE) LOVE (TOXIC) LOVE (LOST) LOVE This is a different kind
of love story.

No matter how you try to hide it, the truth will always come out .
. . After a plane crash sees a group of seven teens washed up on a
desert island, their first thought is survival. But a terrible
secret from a party the night before has followed them ashore.
Facing deadly threats and the fear of being stranded forever, they
quickly discover that being the most popular kid in High School
doesn't help when you're fighting to stay alive. As the island
deals each of them a dangerous blow, it's clear that someone is
looking for justice. Now survival depends on facing the truth about
that party: who was hurt that night, and who let it happen? From
multi-award-winning author and gender equality activist, Laura
Bates, this thought-provoking drama will start an important
conversation and keep you guessing to the end. Praise for The
Trial: 'While the climactic "trial" provides a satisfying political
edge, the most gripping passages involve the simple struggle for
survival.' - Financial Times 'Laura Bates is one of the most
important feminist voices we have and The Trial is engaging and
clever, thought-provoking and thrilling. I inhaled it in one
sitting.' - Louise O'Neill, author of Asking For It 'A book that
teens and young adults should be adding to their contemporary
mystery and feminist reading lists' - Culture Fly 'Laura Bates has
written another unputdownable (I mean this, I had to give up on
getting anything done to consume this story) novel, which as you
can imagine asks some important questions too.'- Lucy-Anne Holmes,
editor Women on Top of the World
