Daisy’s first love is music. 
Her second was David.

A novel in verse about teenage love and friendships, lost and found.

Written by beloved Irish bookseller Gráinne O'Brien.

Daisy can feel like a solo act at home. On the outside of her twin brothers’ intense relationship, she leans on her parents, particularly her father, for support. As a passionate classical musician, she is not wildly popular at school, but she has one close friend and a life filled with musical performance. As she starts her final year of school, dealing with a breakup, the betrayal of her ex-best friend, and her dad’s illness, she feels more alone than ever.

Even music feels lost to her. But when she unexpectedly makes a new friend, Daisy begins to find her way back to herself.
