From bestselling UK Young Adult Author, Katie M. John, this emotional contemporary retelling of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' is perfect for fans of Jenny Han, John Green, Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins.
Seventeen-year-old Ophelia is not only an artist, high-achiever and outcast, but she juggles her A-Levels and ambitions with being a young carer for her bi-polar mother.
She is also in love with Malachi Stone: Mathematical genius, poet, swimmer, and narcissist.
Drawn together by their own increasingly complex lives, they begin an all consuming relationship of love and rejection.
With his mother’s over hasty marriage to his uncle, Malachi’s world turns on a spindle, and his previously charmed life is invaded by a terrible shadow. Only Ophelia can offer him hope of salvation.
