The tenacity Campbell brought to bear in politics is matched here by his gripping inhabitation of his characters. Stunning. - Independent on Sunday

She likes a drink. Everyone has a problem.

Hannah is seventeen. A drink makes her feel better. For a bit. But then she feels worse and the pain inside comes back.

This is the story of Hannah’s addiction as seen by the people around her - her mum, her little sister, her best friend, her best friend’s mother, her mum’s boyfriend.

Powerful and passionate, their voices shed a sometimes shocking, sometimes tender light on a life veering terrifyingly off course.

‘Campbell has taken the vilified, sprawling, drunken youths caricatured in tabloid headlines and, in one young girl, showed us the damaged human beings beneath.’ The Times

‘This superb book is sad, terrifying and uplifting in equal measure. Every parent, every young man or woman and anyone who likes a drink should read it.’ Anne Robinson
