'A bittersweet, nostalgia-tinged adventure... with a steadily growing voltage' Daily Mail 'A deliciously unsettling read' Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures 'Lovely' Patrick Gale A sharp eye and keen wit are brought to bear on the secrets and lies of a small rural community - secrets and lies that may prove deadly.

It's 1972 and ten-year-old Deborah is living a ten-year-old life: butterscotch angel delight and Raleigh chopper bikes, and Clunk Click, and Crackajack and Jackanory, Layla and the Bee Gees, flares and ponchos.

But new girl Sarah-Jayne breezes into school, pretty as a picture and full of gossip and speculation, as well as unlikely but thrilling stories about levitation. The other girls are dazzled but Deborah is wary and keeps her distance. That same week, eighteen-year-old brickie Sonny turns up on her doorstep with a stray tortoise and begins an unlikely friendship with her young widowed mum. That's bad enough, Deborah thinks, but then Sonny starts work on a site opposite the school and Sarah-Jayne decides he's the latest love of her life. Nothing escapes Sarah-Jayne, and Deborah fears what she'll make of her mum. It's good to be different, her mum often says; but not, Deborah knows, too different. So, Deborah changes tactics, keeping her friends close and her enemy closer, even stepping up for some of Sarah-Jayne's levitation sessions. Then she's invited to Sarah-Jayne's lovely house, where she meets her charming family and encounters Sarah-Jayne's big sister's fiance, Max, which is when she senses that all isn't quite as it seems. Readers say:'Suzannah Dunn is a master at dissecting the relationships that are closer than 'just friends', those love affairs we have with our oldest friends, the attachments we formed before we were old enough to rationalise our preferences - the friends of our blood and bone. This book is a subtle, elegant and creepily powerful examination of what happens to one such friendship' Five star reader review for Venus Flaring'I love this book and have read it and re-read it many times. It is so evocative of being a teenage girl in the late eighties and yet it somehow manages to be timeless. It perfectly captures the sense of self-importance that we all have as a teenager' Five star reader review for Blood Sugar

Tired of bad sleep try this pillow :)
Size: Sapphire Queen
Never owned a nice or expensive pillow finally after a good 25 years of super cheap pillows finally decided to try a nice one and see if there is a big difference and see what all the woot is about anyways in my opinion I am a side sleeper and I now just use this instead of multiple pillows and I can safely say it works very well seems too cool a little and is very comfortable plus bonus they give you extra fluff if you want to add more or replace but straight out of the box was absolutely perfect for sleeping I am insanely picky about it will ABSOLUTELY BUY THIS AGAIN 🥰🥰🥰 firmness absolutely perfect as is

Flattened out a little over a month or using it
Size: Sapphire Queen
Figured I would wait a month or 2 before leaving a review. At first. The pillow was great. Very comfortable. Held up nice. Nice and firm and gave great support. After a month. It started to flatten out. Had to re-fluff it only to have flatted out faster this time. Now no matter how many times I fluff it. It doesn’t give the proper support any longer. I’ve bought 2 of these and they are identical. So it can’t be just a fluke for the 2 i have. I’m regretting the purchase as the price was fair when I bought them. But not any longer as they are not the same.

Best pillow ever!!!
Size: Sapphire Queen
I have actually tried dozens and dozens of pillows in my life, and dozens in the past three years, but this is it. Some cheap, some very very expensive, and some very famous brands. This one beats them all. So awesome and comfortable (side sleeper). I tried one and loved it so much I ordered a second right away. It is exactly what I've been searching for forever!!! Stays in shape, extremely comfortable. Only thing is you definitely need a 32" pillowcase to cover it, and I wish they made a 34" pillowcase, but no luck. I used the pillow the same night and it's definitely worth the money. No neck pain, super squishy but supportive, and no odor.

Great pillow
Size: Sapphire King, Size: Sapphire King
Super comfy pillow. Fluffs up without any issues and it was the first night in a long time I wasn't allover the bed trying to get comfortable. I appreciate the fact that the material in the pillow can be washed. The prefill was perfect for me so I did not need to remove or add but I like the option to do so. 10/10

Way fluffy, good support
Size: Sapphire Queen
This pillow is way fluffy. It does fit into a standard pillowcase with a little tugging and stuffing. Worth it though, as it’s cool and provides more support than a usual side sleeper pillow. I’m not using the extra stuffing that comes with it as the firmness is fine for me right out of the box.
