A young child navigates grief after losing a beloved family pet and learns what it means for a loved one’s presence to remain even after they are gone. Angus may be gone, but memories of him are still here: his tail wagging under the dinner table, his nails clicking on the floor, and his hopeful sniff when snacks are being prepared. Angus’s presence is felt everywhere, until one day . . . it’s not. In this poignant and beautiful picture book, a child journeys through grief and learns how to keep memories of a beloved dog close.

Entre romance secrète et affirmation de soi, un roman drôle et doux-amer sur le passage à l'âge adulte, porté par une écriture aussi nerveuse que brillante. "La vie est un mauvais écrivain, disait mon père. Chacun de nous la réécrirait différemment s’il en avait la possibilité." Depuis le début de l'année, Georgie met les pieds dans le plat: elle a déjà fait pleurer le nouveau mec en vue du lycée - deux fois - et elle n'a pas pu s'empêcher de frapper cette peste qui ne cessait de la provoquer. Impulsive, pleine d'humour sarcastique et de répartie, rien ne semble pouvoir atteindre la jeune fille de dix-huit ans... jusqu'à ce qu'elle perde ses amis et en même temps ses repères. Une rencontre avec un garçon plus âgé va alors éveiller en elle des sentiments inconnus.

George Warren (real name: Frances, but nobody calls her that) is well aware that she’s sometimes too tough for her own good. She didn’t mean to make the hot new guy cry—twice. And maybe she shouldn’t have hit the school’s mean girl in the face. George’s loyalty and impulsiveness are what her friends love about her—they know she’s got their backs. On the cusp of her senior year, though, everything starts to change: a fight with her best friend puts an irreparable rift in George's social circle, George’s father can no longer work as a police officer, and the family’s financial problems threaten her dream of going away for college. The year is turning out nothing like what George envisioned, but unfortunately, life’s a bad writer. Then George meets Francis, an older guy who shares her name and her talent for sarcastic banter. In him, she—the queen of catch-and-release—has finally found someone she wants to hold on to, when lately it seems like she’s only been pushing people away. And with him, she falls hard and recklessly in love in ways she never thought herself capable. In short, it’s the year George nearly loses everything, including herself, in secret and utterly alone. With brilliant humor and heartbreaking truth, award-winning author Hadley Dyer tells a story of finding love—and the road back from unthinkable loss.
