Both are dealing with difficult circumstances, and readers will be rooting for their star-crossed romance from the beginning. Will love be enough to save them both?īeing written in free verse means that this dual narrative story goes straight to the heart of Jess and Nicu’s friendship, exploring their feelings with immediacy and heart. But Jess and Nicu are the victims of other people’s prejudices and desires. When they meet, picking litter for community service, Nicu chips away at Jess’ carefully managed exterior and shows her that it’s possible to trust – and love - someone. He’s come with his dad to find work and raise enough money for him to find a wife back home, but that isn’t really what he wants. Nicu has just arrived in England from Romania. Jess is one of the tough girls at school: her gang are all about appearances, and Jess works hard to make it look like she doesn’t care about anything.
