'Evie is a girl who never quite goes about things the right way and always imagines life just as she'd like it to be. That is, until she turns fourteen and falls for a boy who doesn't feel the same for her.
'Strange new emotions take hold, reality becomes a blur and nobody seems to understand who she has become. It is only when her Chinese grandmother's mysterious past and rose-coloured memories are revealed that Evie begins to see through her own tangled thinking, and discover herself.' (From the publisher's website.)
