A Girl Can Dream – £8.99

Venice, 2024

And whenever Hazel sees her and their eyes meet, something strange seems to happen – de ja vu, at first, and then even stranger things that make her wonder if she’s really in Venice at all . . .

England, 2022

She’s not even 16. He is ten years older. She knows it’s stupid. She didn’t even think it was boys she was into.

Things with Freddie start wonderfully – flowers, dates, he even writes a song about her. It’s everything a girl could dream of. Until it’s absolutely not…
