Ellie Pillai has decided to be a better friend, daughter, future sister and all round Better Person. Which means Trying To Help and sometimes doing the exact opposite.
Armed with Dr Jada's podcast on how to beat heartbreak she's determined not to get distracted from her mission by Ash Anderson (ex-boyfriend), Shawn Kowalski (current bandmate) or the cute guy she just met at her Aunt's wedding (future husband?). Because Ellie Pillai is better than the boys she thinks she loves.
But then the song she wrote about heartbreak goes viral and suddenly all anyone wants to talk about is love and who she's going to choose, when Ellie Pillai wants to choose anything except that feeling of not knowing what you want. Throw in some exams, an audition for drama school, a record company in New York, a heavily pregnant mum and a Granny with a penchant for emotional blackmail and Ellie Pillai is more confused than ever.
Why is being a better person so hard? And can you beat heartbreak, if you're not really sure you want to?
Everyone's favourite confused heroine Ellie Pillai is back in the
perfect summer romance! Note to self: what is falling in love, and
am I really sure I want to do it? Ever since Ellie and Ash got
together, Ellie Pillai has been discovering kissing and . . .
questions . . . so . . . many . . . questions. When Ellie goes to
New York, she has to say goodbye to sexy Ash after only having just
got together with him. As Ash's text messages get more and more
cryptic and annoying, Ellie meets Dirty-Blond stranger, a boy from
school who wants her to join his band . . . And suddenly everything
feels a bit more complicated as well as more exciting - because
what happens if you're on cloud nine, but not actually sure who you
should be falling in love with? Praise for Ellie Pillai is Brown:
'I adored this.' Simon James Green 'I loved the fresh and original
voice.' Bookseller
The perfect coming-of-age summer romance by the most spectacularly
funny and original debut UKYA voice. My name is Ellie. Ellie Pillai
. . . And I suppose I am a little bit weird, but then, aren't we
all, just a little bit? Most days, Ellie Pillai is somewhere
between invisible, and not very cool - and usually she's okay with
that. But suddenly, Ellie feels different. Maybe it's the new boy
at school who makes her brain explode into rainbows every time she
sees him (and also happens to be going out with her best friend),
or maybe it's her new drama teacher, the one who seems to have
noticed she exists. Suddenly, her misfit style, her skin colour,
her songwriting and all that getting lost in the music in her head
seem to be okay too. Because maybe standing out isn't a bad thing
after all. 'I adored this.' Simon James Green, author of Alex in
Wonderland 'A feel good coming-of-age gem.' Observer, Book of the
Year 'I loved the fresh and original voice.' Bookseller, Highlights
of the Season 'A hilarious and heart-warming story.' Aisha Bushby,
author of A Pocketful of Stars 'Warm, funny and hopeful.' A M
Dassu, author of Boy, Everywhere 'A fresh, funny, feel-good story.'
