Review from Amazon: Such a wonderful book, and an excellent collaboration between two YA authors I've admired and read before.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?īoth talking about their home lives, in the way of teenagers - a little blaze, as if it is normal, or naively, making it all the more heartbreaking Have you listened to any of Rosie Jones and Oliver Hembrough ’s other performances? How does this one compare? Some bullying incidents at school - quite tense and realistic What was one of the most memorable moments of We Come Apart? What made the experience of listening to We Come Apart the most enjoyable?Įnjoyed the dual narration, from two voices that DID sound like the characters they were portraying But they can't be together forever and stay safe - can they?Īn extraordinary, high-impact, high-emotion collaboration between two Carnegie short-listed rising stars of YA. The only safe place they have is with each other. But his dad's fists are the most powerful force in Nicu's life, and in the end he'll have to do what his dad wants.Īs Nicu and Jess get closer, their secrets come to the surface like bruises. He wants to get educated, do better, and stay here in England. The last thing Nicu wants is to get married. His dad brought Nicu and his mum here for a better life, but now all they talk about is going back home to find Nicu a wife. Nicu is all big eyes and ill-fitting clothes, eager as a puppy, even when they're picking up litter in the park for community service. Jess would never have looked twice at Nicu if her friends hadn't left her in the lurch. Rising stars Sarah Crossan and Brian Conaghan join forces to break listeners' hearts in this contemporary story of star-cross'd lovers.
