Patrice Lawrence Pack x 3 Award-winning author Pack by Patrice Lawrence (author)

When you look at the people you love, you see their faults and their beauty, all tangled up together. And that’s how these books are. Patrice Lawrence absolutely tells it like it is about the mixed-up lives of mixed-up teens. But she does it with an ineffable sweetness too. Marlon is meant to be the good kid. (Read: not cool enough, not clever enough, not street enough.) So how’s he ended up being hunted in an urban gang’s turf war? Indigo’s dad killed her mum. She knows life isn’t happily ever after. But now she’s met Bailey. Could it be love? Rose has escaped from a commune to the brave new world of Hackney. But freedom can be risky, when you have no idea how it works…
