Description:

Melaine Mcfadyean, the advice columnist of Just Seventeen, Britain's most popular teenage magazine, turns now to fiction. In these short stories she writes wonderfully about real life today: about best friends and secret diaries; about a white girl and a black boy's defiance; about trouble with authority, love and the Great God O Levels; about a shoe shine girls tragedy, and about a bit of romance on a Greek holiday. Here is the bold, daring person we wish were and the hesitant, watchful one we often are. In Hotel Romantika finding your way in the world is at once agony and sheer delight.
