Queen of the Night (2012)
“I’m dressed in my school uniform, my bag packed with what I need for Shopping Night, sitting on the edge of the couch waiting. I’ve had barely five hours’ sleep. School is going to hurt today.
Mum walks into the lounge with a toothbrush poking from the corner of her mouth. She fumbles with the clasp on her bracelet.

Give me some credit, please. I want to talk about you.’ ‘Me?’ ‘I’m going to ask you something and I want you to tell me the truth, even if you think it’s going to make me mad.MoreLess
