Featuring themes of mental health issues, suicide, self-harm, alcohol, sex, drugs, smoking and frequent strong language, Sara Barnard takes us into a world of teenage rebellion and recklessness that seems thrilling and dangerous all at once. Openly exploring the intensity, fragility and identity of teenage friendships, Beautiful Broken Things provides an honest and emotional look at how important our friends are as we grow up.

This year she wants something exciting to happen, a significant life event, something that will make her interesting.

Their differences have brought them closer, but as she turns sixteen Caddy begins to wish she could be a bit more like Rosie – confident, funny and interesting.
