As she approaches her final school year, Felice feels pulled apart almost to breaking point. What should she do about friendships, sex, her ambitions as a horse rider? After the death of a riding friend, she realises that all it takes is one false move and you crash.

The last vestiges of Felice’s childhood disappear when she meets Stella, an older woman. Stella is clinically depressed and, as the mystery of her life unravels, Felice learns what it means to be human.

This is the third book in the Blues series.
