'Abigail Tarttelin is a fearless writer.' --Emily St. John Mandel, author of the National Book Award finalist, 'Station Eleven' From the critically acclaimed, award-winning author of 'Golden Boy' comes Abigail Tarttelin’s debut novel, written when she was just nineteen and never before published in America, a modern-day 'Romeo and Juliet 'about sex, love, and growing up. 'My name is Flick and these are my images of my disconnected life, my forgettable weeks and unforgettable weekends. I am one of the disaffected youth. ' Marooned by a lack of education (and lack of anything better to do), Will Flicker, a.k.a. 'Flick,' spends most days pondering the artistry behind being a stoner, whether Pepsi is better than Coke, and how best to get clear of his tiny, one-horse suburb. But Flick senses there’s something else out there waiting for him, and the sign comes in the form of the new girl in town--a confident, unconventionally beautiful girl named Rainbow. As their relationship develops, Flick finds himself torn between the twisted loyalty he feels to his old life and the pull of freedom that Rainbow represents. The story unfolds in a small factory town in northern England, where bleak and sometimes treacherous circumstances make the taste of a love affair even sweeter. Told with humor and raw honesty, in a voice 'both authentic and compelling' ('GQ,' UK), 'Flick 'captures an unforgettable moment in the life of a young man on the verge. 3
