JACK BLACK is not your average university student.  He lives at home for a start – something he’s keen to keep secret – and he’s got Alex – the beanie hat brother and a rotten crush on Alicia Holden (gorgeous and out of his league) and a nice little business on the side to pay the fees. Not average, but not quite unique enough to be cool either. Yet.

ALEX the beanie hat brother has a secret. Don’t ask because he won’t tell you – it’s more than his life is worth – literally. Alex thinks Jack is a bit of an idiot but then Alex thinks everyone is a bit of an idiot except … now that’s all part of the secret.

JAZZ, permanently marked with her half-brother Luscombe’s baby sick or biscuit – poncy name, not her choice – has a crush on Alex and a great friend Ellie, who is not just her great friend but her only friend.  Jack doesn’t know about the crush and Ellie gets all upset when Jazz talks about it. Dilemma; man or mate?  Time will tell.

ELLIE wants to be a musician. Full stop.  No matter what her dad wants – and he wants something completely different – that’s what she’s going to be.  Full stop.  It’s the only thing she knows for sure  because everything else is all up in the air. Can you know what you want out of life but not know how or where to get it? Ellie thinks so. She knows where she wants to be, but she just hasn’t worked out the route. Yet.

Jack, Alex, Jazz and Ellie, Camden Town and a life on the edge of adulthood.  It’s hard, but who ever said growing up was easy?
