Iris

'I flinch. I know she's not going to hit me, we've got in arguments a hundred times before and she's raised her hand - she's never hit me in the face. But I flinch anyway.'

I put that because whenever you pick up a book at the shop there's always a quote on the back, and because I'm trying to put off writing the blurb. I don't know what to put.

This is just a book about me, Iris, and the things that I do, the friends I make, well, try to make, and everything else that happens to me - good, bad and, uh, very bad.

That sounds really boring but I promise, it's much more extraordinary. I might seem normal, (well, not normal, a bit weird really), little Iris, but there's so much more to it than that, more than most people can even begin to understand.
