I'd been warned - in French, no less. By a tram-riding, mermaid-swaying, wolf-eaten, peace-sign flipping friend. I knew she wouldn't be happy if I stayed out here by the pool, with Jed's nail tracing the length of my neck. But I didn't want to go inside. I didn't want another drink. I wanted to stay out here and see what would happen. What's a girl to do when her parents have split up; her mum's trawling Tinder; and one of her best friends has decided not to invite her to the biggest party of the year, which she then has to watch unfold on everyone else's social media? If you're a girl called MC, you get mad as hell, that's what you do. But what begins as one girl's private, no-holds-barred rant soon snowballs in the most public way possible. A funny, heartfelt novel for anyone who's ever wished they hadn't pressed send.

four very different reasons.Life, love, art and one giant party

This book is about encounters between art and industry in
nineteenth-century Britain. It looks beyond the oppositions
established by later interpretations of the work of John Ruskin,
William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement to reveal
surprising examples of collaboration - between artists,
craftspeople, designers, inventors, curators, engineers and
educators - during a crucial period in the formation of the
cultural and commercial identity of Britain and its colonies.
Across thirteen chapters by fourteen contributors, Art versus
industry? explores such diverse subjects as the production of lace,
the mechanical translation of sculpture, the display of stained
glass, the use of the kaleidoscope in painting and pattern design,
the emergence of domestic electric lighting and the development of
art and design education and international exhibitions in India. --
