“The worse things seem, the more you gotta laugh...”

Hannah’s life was going great.

OK, so it had its downside - like Alice, her mate, hanging out with the cool, bleach-haired new girl. Or the fact that the guy she fancied fancied Alice instead. Or even worse, being back in school after a brilliant summer.

But all that was liveable with.

Until the day her Da left.
Then, things slowly began to fall apart.
And there came a time when a free fall turned into a major crash-landing and no one could laugh any more.

The day Nick got the job working for Smoke was the day Billy’s life changed forever.

At first things were brill - Nick was able to buy chips so they wouldn’t have to eat their Ma’s awful dinners. He was able to give Billy money so that finally Billy had enough guts to ask Clara out. He even lent his Da a few quid.

And then one evening, he brings Billy for a night out.

And everything suddenly turns sour.

And Billy is plunged into a nightmare that he never bargained for and can’t control.

It’s not easy being a genius, especially when your family fail to recognise it. Joey is music-mad, he’s in a brilliant band (or so he thinks!) and together with Ann, Trev, Mick (his best mate) and Domo, they enter a ‘Battle of the Bands’ competition, ready to take on the world.

Only one thing stands in the way of all this fame and glory - his Da, who has great hopes for his only son. See what happens when father and son engage in a battle of wills from which neither will back down.

At times touching, nerve-wracking and hilariously funny, Martina Murphy’s stunning début novel comes straight from the heart.
