Review 'A wonderful believable read. Hope is a honest and powerful voice that will speak to many.' --Eve Ainsworth'Real characters to root for, laugh with, cry for, and a subject that should be more widely shared.' --Joanna Nadin'Rhian Ivory's Hope immediately won me over for its ability rare among UK writers to capture the modern Irish dialect without venturing into ''Oirish'' territory. Riley, the boy in question, serves as love interest to Hope, who's struggling with derailed college options (Plan Bs are for people who fail), ongoing grief, and mental health issues. Her own voice is completely believable and makes this issue-heavy story both authentic and engaging.' --Claire Hennessy, Irish Times About the Author Rhian Ivory was born in Swansea and grew up in Hereford and the Brecon Beacons. Her previous novel, The Boy Who Drew the Future (Firefly Press), was nominated for the Carnegie Medal 2017 and shortlisted for four regional library awards.
