AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Fifteen-year-old Isolde Byrne has made ballet everything in the hopes of winning a place at the prestigious National Ballet School. But when Isolde's boyfriend dumps her - for another dancer - she messes up the audition and goes from focused to lost. Rising star of the Big-Air Snowboard scene, seventeen-year-old Taylor Hellemann, was on the fast track for the Winter Olympics - until a life-altering accident brings it all to a halt.

'Taylor and Isolde used to be best friends - before THAT FIGHT, 18 months ago. It's been radio silence ever since - until Taylor contacts Isolde to sympathise with her breakup. Isolde responds, to be polite. But what starts out as break-up themed Spotify playlists and shared stories of exes quickly becomes something more.

'And as Taylor and Isolde start to lean on each other, the distance between them begins to feel not so distant after all.

'But what will happen when they finally meet, for the first time in over three years? Will it feel like nothing has changed ... or maybe, everything has?

'A boy. A girl. A one-of-a-kind friendship. Cross-country convos and middle-of-the-night playlists. With big dreams come even bigger challenges ...

'Told in Instagram DMs, texts, IM conversations, emails and Skype, this is Jaclyn Moriarty's Feeling Sorry for Celia for the present-day reader.'
